>Description:

The FAQ says to check the Handbook for the supported SCSI device list.
The Handbook says to check the release notes.  Wouldn't it be simpler
to just point to the release notes?

>How-To-Repeat:

read the FAQ.  The fix below points to the www site containing links
to all the release notes.  It appears that's the only place where
truly "current" relnotes are available for all releases.

>Fix:
