Thanks JT, its good to know.  It does say 2.5 and newer.  Might be nice if
someone could update the messages and docs which still seem to indicate
everything is scsi  [emulation] but then it's hard to complain about the
price.  Especially with you gurus around to explain stuff for us.  :)

Since I am looking into this whole thing for a group of club people, is it
probable there are some issues actually remaining we might want to be aware
of?
