It's not a PowerFlyer though, it's just the plain 4 way buffered
interface which connects to the internal IDE port and nothing else.
I'm sure the Elbox scsi.device isn't in ROM, because if you don't run
the 4xEIDE99 program (or whatever it's called) at the top of the s-s
and do a "version scsi.device" you get whatever version the OS
supplies. Running the 4xEIDE program and then doing the same version,
you get the Elbox version number which IIRC is something like v44.10.
If the scsi.device I'm using wasn't working as TD64 compatible then
surely using the areas of the disk between 4->8Gb would have wrapped
around and destroyed what's at the start of the disk? (And I never had
that problem.)

Thanks. It does seem like I'll need to use the direct scsi version,
but it's strange why it wouldn't like my interface/OS scsi.device.
Actually, given the amount of different implementations of IDE it's
not strange at all :\
