NetBSD/mac68k SCSI drivers (ncr, sbc, or esp) seem to be much more
sensitive to the target devices than any other SCSI driver I've seen,
though I myself have never had that kind of problem, not even with the
Zip drive or the Quantum Fireball (which many people seem to have
problem with ncr driver).

It may be a bug, but I don't have the skills to fix it...

I'm Cc'ing this message to the author of esp and ncr drivers (and many
other things), Allen Briggs.
