   The fact that it isn't useful to you doesn't mean that it isn't useful
to others. I see countless statements that the SCSI hardware is different
between KA410 and KA42/41, and it is extremely important to make it
absolutely clear to everyone that it is IDENTICAL, and that the CCS-
speaking drivers in VMS and Ultrix would work UNMODIFIED on KA410 if the
artificial blocking is removed. In fact, if I'm lucky, I'll post a tiny
patch for Ultrix that would make it speak CCS on KA410. (Sorry, I can't do
this for VMS, as I know absolutely nothing about it.) Also this discussion
sheds a lot of light on BabyVAX hardware, and everyone interested can use
it to work on proper BabyVAX support for whatever OS he/she happens to
like.
