- I got curious and pulled a toshiba XM-3301b off a sparcstation at work,
- stuck it on my 486 w/ 1542b, and it worked just fine. Note that I have
- installed Jullian's scsi driver -- That probably makes a difference. I have
- not tested it a whole lot, since I didn't have too much time, but it seemed
- to work just fine.
