I doubt it.. SCSI -2 devices don't act like SCSI-2 unless the controller
tells them to. If they're hooked to a SCSI-1 controller, they act just
like SCSI-1.  More likely the problem is the driver.  Drew, and the folk
at Sequential Systems, have done an ecxellent job supporting all manner of
devices with the Ramfast (built in drivers).  That's propably the
difference.
