I have my 3B2/600 running off of a SCSI2SD (from an image taken from my
original dying 327MB Seagate Wren drive) and it runs like a champ.  I think
I'm the guy who reported success to the SCSI2SD site for this particular
machine.

We also have our 3B2/600 at the Living Computer Museum running off of one.
I've found the SCSI2SD to be extremely useful in a number of situations.
Most recently I've gotten an HP/Apollo 425T (which demands a SCSI-1 drive
amongst other things) happily running off of one.
