OK, OK, I can't take this Urban Legend stuff anymore!  :-)

I coulda *sworn* that I've seen both Charles and Peter get on here recently and
talk about improving the SPARC SCSI driver.  I was still under the distinct
impression that, although moving to a platform-independant SCSI subsystem is
most definitely a Good Thing, the state of the current driver was still not up
to snuff compared to the stability of the 1.0.

I'm still waiting to hear the word that -current is as good if not better than
1.0 in this regard.  As always, my continued paranoia is based on a having a
completely full SCSI bus:

 esp0 at sbus0 slot 0 offset 0x800000 pri 3: ESP100A, clock = 25 MHz, ID = 7

With 4 disks, 2 1/4" tape drives and a CD-ROM, if anything in SCSI-land goes
haywire on me, I'm toast  :-)

What's the scoop?
