- That's interesting. You should have been able to use oktagon.device. The
- SoftSCSI_*.device supports the scsi direct (and emulates eg. in the case
- of an IDE interface if required) The oktagon.device passes SCSI direct
- commands unchanged to SoftSCSI_*.device anyway. It may be a little bit
- less efficient, but it should work.
-
- I am using the old ALF2 package (which later on evolved into oktagon).
- Either the ALF.device or the SoftSCSI_*.device works with AmiCD.
