[Coco] SCSI Flash memory drives

[Mark Marlette]

Mike,

Maybe.  I have noticed that SCSI's spec is better followed than the IDE 
spec. Heck drives from the same vendor in master/slave setup didn't 
work together. IDE/ATA is a very loose spec.

If anyone does try this, report back and we will update the .docs
