FWIW I've always used NCR kernels, not SBC, and I have lots of
Quantum drives. The compatibility problems are not as simple as
brand name. If anyone wants to loan a SCSI analyzer to Allan Briggs
I suspect he might be able to figure out what the real problem is and
maybe fix it for both SBC and NCR scsi drivers.
