I've placed a copy of neese.scsi (scsi disk utility and readme) on host
cs.ubc.ca[128.189.97.5].  Login as anonymous ftp and fetch
scsiutil/neese.scsi. 

Enabling the Wren IV disk cache can make an enormous difference in
system performance.  My 386/16 with an AHA1540A and Wren IV running
SCO Xenix 2.3.1 can copy a 1 megabyte file to /dev/null in 6 seconds
with the cache enabled; with the cache disabled, the same copy takes
17 seconds. 

Thankyou, Roy Neese, for making this utility available.
