Don't know about the SCSI compatibility and stuff, etc., etc.... 

But, I do know that it is EXTREMELY important to use the DISK UTILITY on the Panther 
Disc #1 BEFORE upgrading. (Once you start up from the CD, immediately select the 
DISK UTILITY from the menu above). 

Make sure that you run the REPAIR DISK and REPAIR PERMISSIONS several times until 
you get no errors at all (on the physical hard drive volume, as well as the partitions 
that you have (even if only the main one)).... 

Then upgrade choose the "Archive and Install" option (since you don't want to "Erase 
and Install") and choose to preserve your user and network settings, etc.... 

You might not even have to reinstall Logic this way at all.... 

Also, try downloading this $5 PDF file from this site: http://www.tidbits.com/

"Take Control of Upgrading to Panther" has some great advice, which helped me have 
a 100% "event-free" upgrade just last week!!!   ;-)

Good luck man!
