I'll take your word for it, Mark. I've not made much use of the B&B stuff 
since I replaced the controller and a 30 meg rll seacrate drive with 
Tony's scsi setup with a 120 meg maxtor. The os would ask for the next 
sector of the FAT, and that controller (2 of them over several years) 
would happily hand os9 a blank sector THAT WASN'T BLANK ON THE DISK! You 
can well imagine the "merryment" that ensued.

That was the original black sandwich XT-RTC. A gold one I bought later 
still works fine.
