It may be important which model of Quantum is in question.  I'm referring 
to ProDrives of various types.  I don't know what the difference is 
between a ProDrive and a Lightning.  Has anybody asked Quantum if they 
could shed some light on this?  I can't imagine that they would dare 
ignore the large and powerful NetBSD/mac68k users!  :)
