Gotta drag this stuff out and take a look. Oh and RD54's are *slow* compared to ESDI

Can?t be worse than my original plan, which was to use a Viking SCSI controller and hack
all the things to support it. Bit fiddling happened in the driver, in exec mode. I
actually had a hacked standalone DSKDMP that knew how to format ?packs? on it, but it was
so dog slow I never bothered writing a timesharing driver for it, instead waiting until
someone came up with a better solution.
