Jeff,

We've used drivers written at Chalmers with some mods by Jacob Parnass
(IBM Research, Yorktown) with the two types (old and new) of Adaptec SCSI
boards available to us (the AHA1540A reference sounds correct, but I can't
check just now). We've been able to support both the 300Mb and 600Mb disks
marketed for the RS/6000, as well as 3rd party (non-IBM remarketed) 8mm
SCSI tape drives.

I hope to post this in a week or two as contracts wend their way through
purchasing.
