Almost universally the replies indicated that "not supported" means
"we haven't validated it", and not "it won't work".
Fast-SCSI is a red herring, the disk will work to the speed of the

A couple of people suggested OnLine Disk Suite as a way of turning
the hypothetical pair of 669's into an apparently contiguous single partition
of the required size.
