OK. I thought this was the case, from reading the tutorial, but it was
a case of "when is a 'T' not a 'T'?" ;)
I'll need one of those elusive 68->50 connectors with upper byte
termination, then? Does anyone actually sell them!?

I've kept my scanner on the Oktagon card atm, as it works very well,
and has the required external connector.
Since carrying out some more tests, I've been getting mixed results
using the SCSI3 controller. AMP now plays VCDs without jittering the
sound, but Secondspin causes an error requestor, saying something
about the device may be buggy?
What DOSdrivers are recommended? I'm using the ones I used on the
Oktagon with CacheCDFS, set to use cybppc.device.
I know I've asked before, but how exactly should I set the CD and
CD-RW up in the CyberStorms early boot menu?
Sorry to plague people with this, but the PowerUp list seems to have
died, and there is precious little in the way of docs available that
the average mere mortal can decipher! ;)
