How to add a 3rd party scsi to an AT&T 3b2

[Steve Friedl]

Geoff Coleman provides some info on adding third-party SCSI to a 3B2:

One must be careful with this.  It is true that the fields have the
mentioned widths, but some devices seem to treat the Inquiry Response
as one 24-byte field instead of the two fields mentioned above: NCR
is guilty of this on their tape controller products.  This is a sample
from my edt_data file:

	/vendor\/----product----\
	vvvvvvvvpppppppppppppppp

	CDC     94171-9         
	EMULEX  MD24/S2     ESDI
	NCR H6210-STD1-01-46C632
	NCR H6210-STD1-01-46C632
	NCR ADP-53          OEM
