I have a Pentium 90MHZ with a Buslogic [what BusTek is called now]
bt-946c PCI card and it appears to work mostly fine. I have two
drives, both were pulled from Sun workstations and both claim to be
SUN207s, except that they aren't the same type of drive. One is a
SCSI-1 that doesn't do sync. mode, the other is SCSI-2 and is suppose
to do sync. mode. Anyway, sometimes when the SCSI-2 drive is
accessed, I get:
bt0: mbi at [some address] should be found, stat=81..resync
messages on the console. They appear to be fairly harmless, i.e. no
corrupt data or anything like that.
