I have a 2930, and it works fine. I think it [my 2930] falls under the MESH
category (perhaps?). IIRC someone else has a 2906 and it worked, but I can't
swear to that. My best advice would be to spend the relatively small amount
of money on the YDL CD, and try it, and see if it works (you'll see the SCSI
driver either load or not load when you boot YDL.
