Actually it's not. AT&T was simply to stupid to figure out how to make the SCSI subsystem support more than one host adaptor. BTW, EURIX and Generics UNIX V.4 were able to determine if either of a WD1003/ESDI/IDE adaptor, an AHA154x, an AHA174x or a WD7000 were present in the system (even on the installation floppies). So it's possible to get that right. -- Christoph Badura --- bad@flatlin.ka.sub.org Personally, I don't care whether someone is cool enough to quote Doug Gwyn--I only care whether Doug Gwyn is cool enough to quote. -- Larry Wall
