Heh... well I've already enabled flags 0xb0ff, which has improved things
somewhat, but our hardware vendor slipped in some IBM DeskStar drives on
us, and they've been no end of trouble. He _may_ live to regret his
"mistake." The good news is that the first machine rebuilt with the SCSI
drives and using ncr0 + fxp0 is not showing any signs of trouble.
