It will, as long as your DSSI controller speaks MSCP. The internal DSSI
controller called shac is not currently to be supported in near future.

The upper two lines are a MSCP controller. If you can't boot off it, you might
have to setup something in the firmware. Search for KFQSA in the port-vax list,
there was a very fine detailes description of this controller. It is DSSI, but
maybe, you can get something parallel.

And, btw... check out, it you really don't connect your SCSI drives to a KFQSA,
this might not be very useful, KFQSA is DSSI, not SCSI... The upper output
looks very familiar to me, so it either IS a KFQSA, or it pretends to be.
