Does the GVP really support this spec? All Information I had about these
specs I took from the Lattice-C include file "scsidisk.h". The scsidev that
came on the disk with my autoboot eproms didn't support it. But I got a new
hddisk.device (probably the same as on Autoboot roms) which works great
with the new specs.
