I never ran NetBSD on a Mac that used the 5380, so I didn't pay too
much attention to the problems; what I remember was that some drives
worked properly with sbc, while others only worked properly with
ncrscsi. Someone (Allen Briggs?) suggested that a SCSI bus analyzer
might be helpful in figuring out what the exact problem is.

Searching the list archives for messages that mention SCSI bus
analyzer turns up these threads:
