Re: I did a test on a DEC AlphaStation 600 and the SCSI driver seems borked

Ok, well, I have this un-committed change sitting in my tree that’s LIKE A SPLINTER IN MY MIND…

So, I dug out my other AlphaStation 200 (which, alas, is dead, Jim) and scavenged the ISP1020A board out of it (oh hey, now it’s an organ donor!) and plopped it into my DS10 which, for various reasons (don’t ask), is more accessible at the moment than my other AlphaStation-with-an-ISP1020A.

And then ordered a new BlueSCSI UltraWide and a cable to go along with it.  So, hopefully soon I’ll be able to test the fix myself.
