Has anybody attempted to put a SCSI tape device like an exebyte(tm)
or DAT on Amix? Did it work? Did it fail? Did sparks fly out
of the boxes?
How about CDROM's and maybe R/W optical a la NeXT? Is the SCSI
driver flexible enough to take arbitrary disks, tapes and misc.
SCSI toys?
How about a fancy, front end config/format utility for disks
and tapes to make it easy for people to add generic SCSI
devices? Well, maybe that's too extreme... Maybe some good
technical docs on the SCSI driver and the ioctl's I could tickle
it with? The maybe some docs on these other mysterious devices
in /dev like noise, cage, amiga, tiga? etc. /dev/cage huh, is this
where the mouse is kept till X or some other app needs it? B^).
As a tangent, can I kill off menud safely? It appears that all it does
is print out a warning message to a VT when you log out so neophytes
know what is going on. I'd like to get rid of it so I have blank
VT's I can switch to that will "fake" a screenblanker...
