Um, I've got to get the thing in colo by 9:30 tonight in some shape or
the other, and renumber it.  I can always figure out the SCSI issue
later -- on the other machine if necessary.

The thing may be fussier about cables.  The fuse isn't replaceable --
and isn't visible either.  The way to test for that is hooking up a
LED terminator to the end of the scsi chain.

I got a call from the guy who gave me the LX and he's going to look at
documentation.  Meanwhile, I'm configuring for cycbuffs.
