The SCSI problem listed below seems to have migrated to the 3/60 as well.
Same tar command, same shoebox, 24M of RAM, 32M swap.

si: DMA timeout (while polling)
si0: aborting, but phase=DATA_OUT (reset)
si0: reset SCSI bus for TID=4 LUN=0
panic: ncr5380_scsi_cmd: polled request, abort failed
Stopped at      _Debugger+0x6:  unlk    a6

Any ideas?
