I am also having problems with a BusLogic 445S that could also be
attributed to the drive.  I have replacement ROM's coming for
both the SCSI card and my VESA motherboard as both had some
reported problems.  I am failing at "mode sense 4" which seems to
happen when that probe returns something other than 0.  I have
even been able to boot from a kernel that works in Sergio
Prallon's machine with his 445S.  Thanks again Sergio!

No mention of the changes to 'getbsize' in 'ls' and 'df'?  Was I
the only one that had a problem?  I have not yet had time to
figure out if stdlib.h is correct, or the changes in 'df' and
'ls'.

I would be happy to do this, but I am at the end of a VERY poor
9600 baud connection and would only consider sending someone a
tape to do the right thing with.

Keep us posted on your progress.  I would also like to do this.
