No. The aha0 driver sits already on top of the new CAM code - there is no
old SCSI code on this floppy. So you can fire off the boot.flp right with
your 7895 - that was my main purpose in making this floppy, since I own a
motherboard with 7895 built in, so that replacing the controller wasn't
option for me :-)

Yes.
