Oh yeah, sorry Jay, I boot off a LSI/SYMC1010 controller.  So I always
set SCSI, SCSI disk and SYM53C8XX_2 to be built in.

I had considered playing with getting C# up on Alpha, but had not had
much time to look at it.  I was figuring once the x86 64 bit port was
done, then it might be in a good shape to look at it.  I agree that
I think more people would want OOo ported before C#.
