Hi Michael:
Does this provide a means of easily identifying the affected
machines? How do I check the Haunted HP Pavilion? :-)

Ha! That's it. Some SCSI BIOS uses INT 4BH. It must be passing the
register value that VDS interprets as a VDS function, which means AH =
81h. Hmm, let me look things over to see if there's a way to resolve
the conflict by further determining the difference or if it's
inherently incompatible.
Okay, this looks like the smoking gun. Now to figure out a workaround:
INT 4B - Common Access Method SCSI interface (draft revision 1.9)
ES:DI -> CAM Control Block (see #03229 at INT 4F/AX=8100h)
InstallCheck: test for the string "SCSI_CAM" eight bytes past the INT 4Bh
handler
Notes: the CAM committee moved the interface to INT 4F after revision 1.9
to avoid conflicting with the IBM SCSI interface and the Virtual
DMA specification
the only driver to date reported to use the CAM interface on INT 4B
instead of INT 4F is from Future Domain (which has drivers for
CAM
on either interrupt)
INT 4F - Common Access Method SCSI interface rev 2.3 - SEND CCB TO XPT/SIM
AX = 8100h
ES:BX -> CAM Control Block (CCB) (see #03229)
Return: AH = status
00h successful
01h invalid CCB address (0000h:0000h)
Note: the SCSI Interface Module (SIM) may complete the requested function
