Has anyone used one of these successfully under NetBSD 1.2 or 1.2.1?  I
find after a short while that it just refuses to work.  If fsck's and
mounts okay, then you can transfer a couple of megabytes back and forth.
But all of a sudden:

    esp0: RESELECT: 7 bytes in FIFO!
    sd3(esp0:5:0): unit attention, data = 04 35 01 02 ac 00 40 00 00 05 
    43 00 00 07 01 00 00

and any attempt to use the disk gives:

    marvin# disklabel sd3
    disklabel: /dev/rsd3c: Input/output error
    marvin# cp * /tmp/
    cp: ghostscript-4.03jpeg.tar.gz: Input/output error
    cp: ghostscript-4.03gnu.tar.gz: Input/output error
    cp: ghostscript-4.03.tar.gz: Input/output error
    cp: fvwm-2.0.45.tar.gz: Input/output error
    cp: epsffit-1.13.tar.gz: Input/output error
    cp: apsfilter-4.9.3-LPRng.2.tgz: Input/output error
    cp: apache_1.2b6.tar.gz: Input/output error
    marvin#

Ejecting and re-inserting the disk means I can then get it working again, 
but that's a bit of a pain to keep doing.


If anyone could shed some light, I'd be grateful.  It works fine on my
Slowaris machine at work.  I was hoping that upgrading to 1.2.1 would fix
things, but naaaah.
