In theory, the driver should be allocating bounce buffers from your Z2
(A2630) memory or CHIP RAM. I don't think that this code has ever been
tested. Compare the 2091 code with the A3000 code and the GVP code. All are
based on the same SCSI controller and at least one of these should allocate
bounce buffers correctly.
Another thing to look at is amiga_start.c and make sure that the memory
mapping routines aren't getting confused by your high RAM and absence of
Z3 bus. This is where the bounce buffers should be assigned.
