I use 1.51 rom and I have 7 now. I think the standard software that 
goes with it supports 15 partitions, but i've heard something about 
an 31 partition MAP command.

The interface can possibly be put at different addresses. I dont have 
the HG hardware but an old MAK 3.0 pcb, so I cannot check it.

Go to Western Digital and search docs for the WD33C93A scsi 
controller chip.

BTW. the Novaxis bios has a quite well documented call table easy to 
access from assembly...
