It is: it can't recover from a SCSI protocol error (resets the bus and then
hang), with a 810 or a 875.
However all my servers have NCR boards, including one with 2 9Gb scsi drives
(on a 875) and a DLT7000 based tape changer (on a 810) doing nigthly dumps.
These are really stable. You just need to take care of cables and
terminations to avoid SCSI protocols errors.
