This is just a follow up note on SCSI drives.
I own an XT with a Seagate 296n (SCSI).  It uses the ROM BIOS
on the controller on the drive to boot.  In other words it is independent
of the system ROM.  It appears to the system as a SCSI device on boot-up.
I don't remember what the system sees afterward but I do know that
the recording scheme is seen as RLL.
I don't if this helps or hinders, but it's my $.02 worth.
