You might have a point of failure here. As a temporary workaround the piece
of code in information_transfer() might be changed to read:
case PH_CMD :
if (reqp->xcmd.opcode == REQUEST_SENSE)
/* Probably 12, but I'm too lazy to look it up ;-) */
len = command_size(reqp->xcmd.opcode);
else len = reqp->xs->cmdlen;
transfer_pio(&phase, (u_char *)&reqp->xcmd, &len, 0);
......
Side note:
The sbc code is a bit strange wrt. sense commands either! Around line
2027 in ncr5380sbc.c, the check 'if (len != xs->cmdlen)' looks suspicious
in the 'if (sr->sr_flags & SR_SENSE)' case.....
Leo.
