Subject: Re: Booting off of Adaptec 2940UW

Its a PowerDomain 2940UW, which is a open firmware compatible device.  The
biggest difference between the mac and PC version is the EPROM.  From what I
could gather from Adaptec the EPROM on the Mac version is bigger to handle
the differences between the platforms.
