The fact that SBC doesn't recognize the SCSI bus on the LCIII (P450,P46x)
machines is the problem now I have a P460 (Same machine clocked to 33mhz)
and I'm lucky enough to be able to use regular GENERIC kernels now that I
have gotten a 2gig Quantum drive but if I try to use GENERIC kernels on my
SyQuest EZ135 drive I get *severe* filesystem damage&. I have not tried
the latest SBC kernels but I know everything from 27 yo 36 would not
recognize my scsi bus for some reason while 26 does. So go figure.
& Note: this only appears to happen when I boot from my EZ135 drive.
