Fascinating. The RamFAST is _not_ a SCSI device? Amazing that it works at
all. I wonder why they designed it that way? After all, there are chips
available that do all this stuff for you (disconnect/reconnect,
arbitration, etc.).

Weird science. A SCSI controller that is not, in the strict sense, a SCSI
controller, and yet it works with HDs, CD-ROMs, Flopticals, Zip drives,
tape drives ... almost as strange as the Tories being in power still in the
UK :)
