Clerification requires religious thought, no?

I had a 120MB internal and a 135M Syquest running the sbc driver (SBC-2)
and had no problems. I switched after the "normal" driver (GENERIC-67 and
GENERIC-7) both dropped characters when copying disk files. 

My system started out as a 5MB SE/30 with a 120MB internal Maxtor and
external Syquest 135MB. It now has 20MB of RAM and a Quantum 1.2G external
drive. In either case, I have had no problem with the sbc driver. 

I now run a "custom" kernel (big deal, all I did was compile it myself)
and I'm having too much fun. I really ought to get out more often.
