Actually, it's possible to hack rudimentary SCSI support into A/UX.

The stuff I wrote actually works, but only for playing around; i.e. you can
use SCSIProbe or SEdit without any problems whatever, but try actually
installing a driver and the system hangs.

Debugging SCSI without an appropriate analyzer (and also no terminal to use
with the kernel debugger, if necessary) is next to impossible.
I'd like some help from anybody with the appropriate facilities and/or
expertise, in order to get that bug out...

Hardware like Apple's tape (which tend to hang the bus when given wrong data
lengths, but only under A/UX of course or life would be too easy) doesn't
help either.  Neither does not having the 2.0.1 device driver development kit,
assuming that it even exists by now...
