Ken-Ton SCSI + Disto SCII=Don't work??

	I just set a friend of mine up with a 71MB Fujitsu MFM with an
Adaptec 4000A.  He got a Ken-Ton SCSI Interface (which, incidentally,
had serial no 1480, I think; the interesting part is that my
interface, which I bought from Boisy Pitre more than 2 years ago, is
serial no 1510!!).
	We tested the drive with my interface and his interface.  I
use an FD-502, and everything worked fine.  However, he uses (used) a
Super Controller II with an RS-DOS ROM.  When he runs RGB-DOS from a
floppy, or boots up OS-9, the HD doesn't work.  RGB hangs before an OK
prompt, and OS-9 will give an error 214 on ANY /h0-related command or
action.
	I told him over the phone to try his FD-502 and everything
works fine.  So the question: why doesn't his Ken-Ton SCSI work with
the SCII?  If it's any help, he has a CoCo 3 with 512k and I BELIEVE a
newer MPI.
	I would think that people who put together high-performance
systems would have included these components in their systems; did
they get that combo to work?

	Thanks for any help.  I told him that, in the meanwhile, I
wouldn't care, because the no-halt of the SCII is of no consequence if
everything is done on the HD anyway, but that's not an acceptable
solution in my opinion.  Thanks, again!
