I tried a dual 90 MB Bernoulli on my //gs and it (mostly) worked.  It was the only 
SCSI device on the chain and it didn't need an external terminator.  Only the first 
Bernoulli (the master) appeared, the second one (the slave) wasn't seen by the 
Finder.   Although I could use both HFS and ProDOS volumes, I couldn't make 
all of the 90 MB into usable partitions under ProDOS.  The SCSI utility that came 
with 6.0.1 insisted on having a small HFS partition that the Finder said wasn't 
initialized (and couldn't initialize).  The speed with ProDOS volumes was on par 
with other SCSI disks I've tried.  However, HFS volumes were extremely slow - it 
seemed like the system had to wait for something to timeout after every block 
transfer.

Oh yeah,
	ROM 01
	4 MB GSRAM
	Apple Rev. C SCSI in slot 2
	Vulcan 20 MB in slot 7
	Apple 5.25" controller in slot 6
	2 3.5" drives off of the Smartport
	System 6.0.1
