Two busses is no problem with sbc or esp.  Ncrscsi was designed for just
one bus.  There's a minor issue actually using the second bus in the 900
and 950, but I think I know how to deal with that now.  The catch with
those is that the ADB and serial don't work.  Someone could run a hacked
kernel on them if they were able to configure the disk on another system
or from the MacOS.

I think I'll be getting a 950 shortly--we'll see if I can get it running
(the two scsi busses will be the easy part ;-).
