These are for folks who are having problems gettings their SCSI
detected. If you aren't having those problems, don't use this.

This is certainly the latest ;-) I'd recommend using if you aren't
going to shoot me if things go wrong. It doesn't actually have any
changes other then how it loads the supp disk (it pulls it into ram
if you have enough RAM sitting around) and should be perfectly safe. The
supp.img in there has changes for the ftp and and hard drive install.

The only difference between these two are for folks with TCIC PCMCIA
controllers. Fwiw, the fix in #3 here is also in the #1 and #2 boot
disks.
I hope this helps.
