I have tried a variety of CCS (Common Command Set) conformant (at
least the claim of conformance) SCSI disks without much problem.  You
could try to acquire one of the new Imprimis 1.2 GB drives (or two in
your case); I have not tried them.

We have had as many as four devices on-line.  You need to play with
the mounts and disk tables, and should update NetInfo and the standard
/etc tables both.

scsimodes can also help; I believe that it is undocumented, though.
