   Can we kill SPOCK yet? [Turbo-diddle C8E

   What is the present thoughts on disabling system board SCSI and using an   
   adapter implementation that can load it's BIOS into RAM?   
      
   Disable, -OR- somehow allow an adapter to load it's BIOS _instead_ of   
   the on-board Tribble / SPOCK?   
      
   Might be the answer is in the C8EFn.ADF? I -THINK- that C8EFn exec   
   places the firmware in RAM and it always uses SLOT 0. Can we   
   turbo-twiddle a process where the SCSI adapter with the lowest SCSI   
   address has it's BIOS crammed into RAM?
