Oh? Hmm... i dont have a SCSI card for my Acorn apart from an undocumented 
and unsupported Linguinuity one.... so i can't just test it but yes i ought 
to have looked at it. AFAIK i did ask one time on the mailing list for 
anyone to comment but got no reactions....

yeah :-/ well 1.6.1 will prolly follow up in not that long but its a shame 
yes. Even for me it's not trivial to get patches included in 1.6 but the 
unlucky fact is that i am/was on a 3 week holiday just when 1.6 rolls out 
but then who can count on that ;-/

Will try to include the stuff later,
