    Sorry to shift course, but I have a question related to Powermac supported devices.

    First, to forewarn any of you unfamiliar with my posts, I have a tendency to repeat/re-word questions till I get a complete answer (and this is one of those questions).

    As many of you know I've got a Symbios Sym8952U SCSI controller installed in my Powermac running under Ubuntu. I already know that the Pegasos' Open Firmware allows booting from this controller.

    I know it would not be possible to boot a Powermac from an 895. Further, I'm aware that not all the drivers that work on a Pegasos work flawlessly on the Powermac (although I do hope the Soundblaster driver problem will be solved before 2.6 is released). But what prevents the driver for SCSI cards from functioning once a Powermac is booted from an ATA drive?

    This works under Ubuntu (quite possibly because the Pegasos is also supported under PPC Ubuntu). Why not under MorphOS?
