There lies a small problem. With Xenix 2.2.4, the Tandy release with
SCSI support, the new Adaptec 154xB controller doesn't work out of the
crate. Have had a few discussions with Adaptec, SCO, Tandy and the local
Nix wizards, and the result is a forced upgrade to 2.3.2.
Hope that either SCO or Adaptec will release a driver for the beastie
before long. I've heard it is even better at it's job than the A model...
