Looks like an sbc bug.  Have you tried ncrscsi?  More accurately, have you
tried a -current (last couple of weeks) ncrscsi?  Somebody (Allen, maybe?)
added a patch to ncrscsi that really helped some systems (incl. mine),
eliminating all those nasty read errors.  You might give ncr another shot
now that it's being more friendly.  :-)


Good luck,
