I'll try to make contact with cumana and see if they're still willing to give 
out technical info.  I believe that part of the issue is we use the cards in 
polled mode, something with the MI SCSI stuff isn't very good at.  Someone 
was working on improving the IOMD's bus_space/bus_dma stuff, which would help.

Have you tried the latest snapshot (although it might be better if you could 
try the latest current, the SCSIPI stuff has just been reworked, if you need 
a kernel to be built let me know and I'll build one.)

Cheers,
Chris
