An update... If I unplug the cdrom drive from the scsi bus, the entire
set up seems to be stable (I just did a few builds of kernels while doing
repeated 'find /' and didn't have any problems.  Could the problem be
that the converter that goes from 68 pin to 50 pin (to allow the cdrom
drive to plug into a 68 pin ribbon) needs to terminate the upper eight
bits?  Maybe it is only terminating 8 bits total instead of all 16?
