9342cdbb34 New section about SCSI hard drives. Not that I'm an expert or anything,
but it was embarrassing to leave that entry empty!

75f9f2e478 (1) Add reference to kernelconfig section (many supported devices are
listed there).

(2) Intel's Natoma chipset is called "440FX", not "VS440FX" (which is
    the Venus motherboard that uses the Natoma chipset).

(3) Unspam the bogons introduced in rev 1.30 (1 1/2 years ago, I can't
    believe nobody noticed it! ;).  In particular, don't list serial
    ports, sound cards and PCMCIA in the storage system.  The first
    two are deleted; PCMCIA is moved to the resurrected "other"
    section.

    By the way, I'm not sure if the "problem drives" at the end of
    tape drives is supposed to be there or not (this whole section is
    about what works and what doesn't anyway) but I'll leave that alone.

(4) Spell check the whole thing.  In particular, properly capitalize
    "MHz" (not "MHZ" or "Mhz").  If you are translating this to
    another language, "trinitron" -> "Trinitron" and "Ananconda" ->
    "Anaconda" are the only proper nouns that changed.

Merge these changes (as well as 1.77) into the Japanese version.

a195318eaf Avoid the use of contractions. This eliminates the "its"/"it's" problems
pointed out by Rick Robinson.  Found and fixed some grammar problems
at the same time.

Note: the reason for avoiding contractions is two-fold:

1) It makes the text easier to understand for people who speak English
   as a second language.
2) Expanding the contractions often reveals poorly worded passages.

cc1cbedee1 Remove the quotes from some of the kernel options that dont need it.
eg:  options "SCSI_DELAY=15" should be options SCSI_DELAY=15, as config
knows about the "=" and splits it correctly into key=value for the #defines.
The only options that need quotes are those that have numbers as part of
the actual name, eg: "TUNE_1542" and "COMPAT_IBCS2".
