I Got One.  Procured by kin, yay!  Only, when I use it, going into open 
firmware gives me a white screen with regularly spaced vertical green 
lines going the entire height of the screen, no prompt.  At least it's 
not black with the monitor's pulsing green 'disconnect' light...  `eject 
fd:` works (I think I can safely use eject as an unambiguous test of 
whether or not input is being accepted), but not `boot' or `boot 
cd:,\ofwboot.xcf'.  What does this mean?  Hosed hardware?  Or do I need 
to terminate a year-old goat without blemish at one end of the scsi chain?
