- I have placed this patch from Expansion Systems on wuarchive.wustl.edu in
- /systems/amiga/incoming/patch there are two files scsidf21.lzh and a readme
- file that I made up that says nothing. The lzh contains a new SCSIdf.Handler
- and a readme telling you where to put it. The problem (according to the
- readme) was that the old handler was locking out all interupts while
- writing to the disk. The new handler has no problem doing 14.4k zmodem.
