Do you know if it'll handle tape drives?  I plugged my SCSI backup
unit into it, just to see if it'd work, but archiver didn't recognize
it (I loaded the SCSI tape driver for GS/OS).  So I suspect that
might be beyond it.  Looks like I need to get an Apple SCSI card and
solve all problems at once.

Yech!  Well, that explains many things.  Thanks for the info.

I suspect this is what I have, as when I hold down the Apple key when
the system boots I get a "SCSI device menu" which makes reference to
multiple devices and multiple partitions.
