That's what I was saying.  I don't *need* to upgrade, especially for $100+ 
for a controller card.  All I really need is a bootable hard drive and I 
can use Appletalk to store files on a Mac.  And that's what I have.

See, that's the thing.  I *don't* have a Vulcan *driver*.  None came on 
the hard drive or with the machine, and I'm just using it as GSOS 6.0.1 
supports it.  If there is a specific driver for it, and someone has the 
URL, I'll use it.

Yes, I am well aware of lost data with HFS.  But with which version of the 
FST?  Are there still problems with the 6.0.1 HFS FST?
