- You'll need the RT SCSI card (which has a differential SCSI bus), and
- a differential<->single-ended black box (i don't know where to get these
- but they are available). Also, i beleive you have to write the first N
- sectors of the disk with 0's, otherwise you won't be able to configure
- the SCSI disk.
