I keep reading that the Apple II SCSI card is not compatible
with 'standard' SCSI card, and the CMS SCSI card is.
Does anyone know what the problem is?.  
   I bought the SCSI Technical Reference manual from APDA, but it
doesn't have much usefull info.  (No schematics, No ROM listings...).
All it has is a list of system calls.  It looks like I'm going to have
to disassemble the ROMS to see what the card does, since I'd like
my drive to Autoboot.  The manual does claim that the card is
compatible with all SCSI devices that follow the standard, but I'm
still suspicious.  Also I have the Adaptec manual for their SCSI
controller, and it says something about special block sizes used
by Apple.  What is that all about??
