I was afraid of this. What perplexes me just a bit is the
Hardware-HOWTO specifically states this is supported. Ah but is the
wrong side of glory to be expecting perfection isn't it. If I was able
to move up too, will my regular Quantum SCSI drive with its 50 pin
connector work with the 2940?
Ouch!! This smarts.
