Re: Quadra SCSI? (and whither the linux-mac68k ML?)

You can try using kernels from the 'testing' directory, that would help
determining what machines still have problems.

I think Dave has a 650, and still problems with it (no interrupts after the
first read request). Might be the different SCSI chip the AV and 650 use, or
brokenness in the interrupt code.
I've used a Quadra 800 successfully for a while now. 'Successfully' means I
disabled scanning for SCSI device #2 because I don't get past the bus scan
otherwise. That's the two data points I know of, there may be other success
stories out there, I just haven't paid attention too closely lately.
