Hmm, I think it might have been in the 1.2 INSTALL file.  There's
this intimation from the hp300 port page :

Disks: 
         HP-IB/CS80: 7912, 7914, 7933, 7936, 7945, 7957, 7958, 7959,
2200, and 2203 
         SCSI-I, including magneto-optical and CD-ROM 
 
And this in a more recent INSTALL :

(**) SCSI-II drives are known to work, though this may require changing
a
     jumper on some drives.  See your disk's documentation for details.

I seem to recall that the jumper mentioned was the "SCSI-I/II" 
jumper on some old Quantums.  *shrug*  I'm happy regardless 8)
