Re: some strange things with ahc

I have observed some strange more strange occurrences with the ahc driver. Attached is the output from boot -v. This strangeness centers around an HP C1553A SCSI2 DAT Tape drive. I updated the firmware to the latest from HP to see if it solved the problem. It didn't. This same device works fine
