I purchased a future domain 885 scsi controller (which is supported by
esix 5.3.2-d) and was unable to get it to boot from a Wren IV or a Wren
III.  Esix technical support first told me that they had no problems
with the fd controller and a seagate scsi drive that they had and what
was a "ren" drive anyway?  Then they wanted me to send my drive to them
so they could get it to work.  I declined.  I am using the st-01 driver
(modified by mike grenier (mike@cimcor.mn.org) right now and have a fd
scsi controller that is simply gathering dust.
