From article <1420@ccnysci.UUCP>, by alexis@ccnysci.UUCP (Alexis Rosen):

I've just purchased one-- I'll be writing a MacOS driver with support for
the new partition map (if necessary),  and depending upon the generic
SCSI driver built into A/UX to deal with it when in A/UX mode.  It would
be simpler if I didn't have to worry about that damned SASH.  Has anyone
played with modifying the old Apple "Example" driver to deal with the
new DPM?
