How to get a FUJI 2266 drive to work on a DECstation:

Switch Bank CHN2:
	- open switch 1-2	(make it be SCSI-1/CCS)
	- open switch 11-12	(turn parity off)
	- open switch 15-16	(let host initiate SCSI synch mode)

For some hosts, you may need to also disable the readahead cache
(CHN9), but it seems to work on the DECstation. Bulk transfers (using
dd & 32K blocks) are 1.2Mb/s. The Wren V gets about the same, maybe a
little less. The Fuji has 14.5ms seek time.


Thanks go to Tom Eastman of r^2 systems, the vendor.
