Hi,

> Thanks!   Could you also propose a patch?

I suggest that you just change the conditions in the code accordingly.
Frankly speaking, I don't want to be involved in yet another SCSI emulation,
and implement the same logic over and over again. This is boring.
I just stumbled upon the existing code and pointed out potential issues.

I doubt it. For almost 35 years there has not been any SCSI-1 hardware
anymore, and Ataris have been happy with SCSI-2 since about 1991, also STs.
This is why I wonder whether it makes any sense to support SCSI-1 at all.
Provided that AHDI and HDX are fine with SCSI-2, I do know know any software
that would require SCSI-1. Regular software is not affected anyway, only hard
disk software is. Any potentially an OS like Linux. Atari's ASV is also fine
with SCSI-2, by the way. I have been using SCSI-2 drives with it already in
1990, even though Atari distributed it on SCSI-1 drives (and on tapes).

Best regards

Uwe
