I can't speak for the other softfloat users, but I'll say this: every 
since upgrading to 2.0, my IDE drive has continued to work fine, but my 
SCSI drive has started getting errors and locking up when transferring 
more than about 1MB at a time... I haven't troubleshooted it much 
because I just disabled the drive and moved its contents to my IDE 
drive, but if anyone has the same problem, maybe it's worth pursuing.

(I have an IDE drive on the built-in Performa 630 channel, and a SCSI 
drive in the CD-ROM bay.)
