I've got a Quantum Lightning 730 (well, it formatted out to 700 )-: and it
has had some real problems with the ncrscsi driver.  Likewise, similar
problems started again once the sbc driver started supporting flags 5
(PDMA?).  I'll have to compile with flags 1 sometime and see if the
problems go away I guess.   On the other hand, I haven't tried the ncrscsi
driver since Allen made some changes which apparently stablized it quite a
bit.

Later.
