- I must agree with Dave O on this point. The mac generally does not do
- too well when it comes to the SCSI nits, and random third party mac
- suppliers do even worse. I have integrated or looked hard at about half
- a dozen various devices, an only in two small documentation errors has
- the SGI stuff been bad. All the rest has been *poor SCSI implementations*
- on somebody other than SGI's part.

- good luck
