The revision 4 software won't be able to format or control a standard
SCSI drive, including those MACs. Its all setup to only understand how
to operate the WD1006 and Adaptec 4000/5000 boards, neither of which are
"standard" SCSI.
We all just need to buy SCSI drives with the V6 upgrade from Shy.
Screw these MFM drives.
