Hi.

I myself use the following ugly trick with my SyJet. It works only
because all other filesystems I use are on IDE drive. I have my 
SCSI adapter driver compiled as a module which is loaded on startup.
When I want to use the SyJet, I just rmmod and re - insmod this module.
Device is detected.
I am sure there is another way to do it though.
