I usually follow the "if it ain't broke" axiom, but after problems
trying to get xmcd to work w/ the NCR driver ("cannot allocate scsipi
xs" errors when trying to open the CD-ROM drive, followed by a hung
SCSI bus), I decided to give the SBC driver a try.  With that driver,
xmcd works beautifully. :)  The problems I was having accessing my
other HFS partitions (w/ hfsutils) disappeared as well.

I've now switched to the SBC driver.  :)

This is on a IIcx for those keeping score.
