LR Tech is a SASI controller.  The slightly-newer Ken-Ton SCSI card is
supposedly compatible with the LR-Tech, so Ken-Ton software (SCSIsys,
Superdriver) should be able to use it.

As far as I could tell, the difference between LR-Tech SASI and actual
SCSI was that the LR-Tech didn't generate parity bits.

When I was running an LR Tech system, I was using the original
software for it, but then, I happened to have one of the supported
SASI-to-MFM controller boards around.
