Ditto.

I finally received the auto-boot conversion kit from Pacific Peripherals
so that my hard drive boots.  I am not looking for a tape backup for my
65 MB hard drive (ST277N).

I wonder if the device driver I received for Pacific Peripherals will work
on devices that are not disk drives.  Does any one know?  Do I need another
device drive?  I just received the SCSI ANSI Spec, it seems straight forward.

Does anyone know if the device driver example in the new ROM Kernal Manual
(for a RAM disk) would be accurate for a place to start to write a device
driver?

I know this seems to be alot of questions.  Answers to any or all of the
above questions appreciated.

thanks in advance.
