Excellent!  I'm building now, and will test on a StarMax 3000/160 (~= 
pmac 4400) by the end of the day.  I have a SCSI scanner which has been 
unusable because (I think) of this problem: I get something like "MESH: 
target 6 aborted" on startup, and if I enable SCSI debugging, it is 
recognized (go figure), but stops working after one scan.  I can't 
remember the details because it's been about two years since I got 
sufficiently frustrated to give up...
