Funny, the Ampro docs list all these various controllers and whatnot.
The software also _asks_ what controller it is going to talk to. The
SCSI controller is part of the LB. What would the software consider the
onboard controller to be?

I've got a 20MB SCSI drive I'm trying to use. The bootrom rev tells me
that it's got support for the SCSI controller. What coding has to be
done?
