FYI, I got GENERICSBC#26 working on my IIvx, which (obviously by it's name)
was an sbc kernel.  It gave compatibility with my zip drive and my old 80MB
quantum drive, which i used for /usr/src/sys.  now that i can't use that
drive (sbc -current-as-of-11/1/97 won't boot on my machine, and the disk
corruption is annoying), i'm using 2 identical 270MB Quantum LPS prodrives
on my system, which work with both sbcscsi and ncrscsi.

did you mean you just couldn't get the most recent sbc kernels to boot on
your machine or just in general?
If the latter, try genericsbc#26. (if you can't find a copy, i'll put it up).

later,
