I should also point out that there's a good amount of information in
that FAQ that non-Sun collectors would also be interested in. Settings
for many Multibus and VME modules, settings for many of the Emulex MFM and
ESDI<->SCSI bridge controllers, settings for at least some of the more
common QIC drives, some very basic information on older SCSI and IPI
drives, and a pointer to the "Sun format.dat" table, which has geometry
tables for common configurations of many SMD drives.

There are also some gaping holes in the information that I'm sure we
could help fill in, too :-).
