Well, I have said I had some SCSI problems with my hp370, but I don't recall
anything being said as mentioned above in that thread. But I can boot and run
my 370 from a SCSI-2 disk. I only cann't use the tapestreamer at the moment.
Once I've got the kernel sources on that machine, I can take a look at the ST
code and see if I can make that work.
We have to have SCSI-2 drives work, because it's hard to come by SCSI-1 disks
nowadays... ;-)
