	I bought the SCSI card 8 years ago I think, and no SCSI Utility
	was provided with the card.

	The SCSI driver was installed on the disk, and when I was on the finder
	I get a Question like ' found a HD 100... Meg do you want to
	initialized ?...' 
	I get this question only on time ! and then no more.

	I tried this week-end a format, Verify using the Copy II+ and 
	Prosel, and the only message I get was:

		MLI error $80 !!!

	In the verify process, he Copy II+ gave me Block errors, on block
	number 2.
