I have 2 of the Adtron SDDS's, I've yet to be able to get a PC card to 
format properly in it (my comments about the sector sizes not being 
compatible).   The SSD SCSI drives work okay though.

I've done file transfers to/from the PC, but I can't remember if it 
required loading EDITOR or not.   I don't think so...    The one wacky 
thing about EDITOR is that you need the keyboard connected to exit, IIRC.

Since we have the TL/1 compiler for the PC, with file transfer setup, 
you wouldn't even need the EDITOR.   Writing scripts on he PC is much 
easier for sure.
