                    >>>>>>>  GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS  <<<<<<<


	This latest version of Htest/Hformat contains numerous changes
	from earlier versions.  Please be sure to read the manual, even
	if you are familiar with the program. 

		
	TOSHIBA 3100 Users:  The controller card in the Toshiba 3100
	is an XT type controller.  When running Hoptimum, be sure that
	the startup parameters indicate that you have an XT (or compatible)
	controller type.  When running Hformat, be sure that the startup
	parameters indicate that the machine type is a PC, PC/XT, (or
	compatible).  It is VERY important to choose the correct controller
	card and machine type.  FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN DATA LOSS!


	RLL Controller Users:  When running Htest, Hformat or Hoptimum on 
	your system, make sure that the number of sectors per track reported
	is correct.  The jumper settings on some controllers may cause the 
	programs to report an incorrect number of sectors per track.  If this 
	occurs, please correct this information in the setup parameters menu.
	DO NOT RUN THE PROGRAMS IF THE SETUP PARAMETERS ARE NOT CORRECT.

	Our new manual should serve to answer any questions you may have, but
	if you need assistance, please call our technical support department.
	We can be reached Monday through Friday 8 AM to Noon and 1 PM to 4 PM
	Pacific Time at 503 488-0224.

	Thank you for your support,
