I just tried the 1.5 demodisk on my brand new 386 with a DTC3280A SCSI
controller and a ST1096N disk. Expecting failure I tried to make a file 
system on an empty partition and SUCCEEDED! Now why is that? I was under
the impression (solely from reading this group) that a special SCSI driver
was needed. Is it not SCSI after all? Does anyone have any knowledge about 
this? Will it also work when I buy the PH distribution?  

Any hints ?
