    That wasn't really my intention. I'm already using the Sym8952U in my Powermac under Ubuntu once its booted from a standard ATA133 drive connected to the on board controller.

    Once the system is booted, the cards firmware is irrelevant. The SCSI LVD drive connected to the controller can be partitioned, formatted, and mounted for use under Ubuntu. It just can't be booted from (since the firmware is not Powermac compatible).

    Again, the question is, why can't I do the same (as I can under Ubuntu) under MorphOS (once released) - boot from an ATA drive and use the SCSI drives as secondary storage?
