	I got IBM's "PowerSCSI!" board, with a Future Domain
TMC-18C30 chip on it.  I looked through the SCSI HOWTO, and saw
that it was supported, but required some info from BIOS.  Well,
the computer has a screwy IBM BIOS, so the SCSI driver didn't
support it.  

	I tried putting the I/O address and IRQ (CA000,10) on 
the command line, and the driver kept spitting out "parity error"

I read in the SCSI-HOWTO to send the output of "debug" to the
scsi mailing list.

Here is is...

I'd really appreciate it if anyone has any help. :)

P.S. The controller works fine under PC-DOS.
