PPC 8500/150

[Rick Thomas]

I don't remember the incantation right now (some impossible 
three-handed combination of keys) but there is a way to tell it to 
scan the scsi bus backwards.  If your regular disk is SCSI-ID=0, 
and the ZIP is SCSI-ID=6, this works as planned.

I've done it.  So I know it can be done.  But it was a while ago -- 
back in the era when I thought a 150 MHz computer was *fast*!

Enjoy!

Rick
