- This is not confirmed but I don't believe that the Q900/950 are
- technically SCSI-2, just a subset. But they can be 16 bit wide SCSI.
- There are two seperate SCSI busses each with an 8 bit connector in the
- box. All it takes is some software. At least one company already
- supports this, PLI with thier 040 Mini-Array.
-
- If someone knows all the details about what part of the SCSI-2 spec
- Apple supports I would really like to know.
