So if I read this correctly there's a problem with the SCSI.Manager under
System Disk 5.0.2 and I need to avoid it.  Since I use a CMS SCSI card as
well as a CMS hard drive doesn't my system bypass Apple's SCSI drivers and
managers, etc?

If I remember correctly gs/os creates a driver on the fly for non-Apple
SCSI devices.  At least I hope so!
