  I believe this is the case.

  The version of the asc driver I have seems to work quite well under
normal use, but refuses to work when doing the polled I/O during a dump.
The write operations done by dump do not complete and each one times out.
I've never waited long enough to see if the dump eventually gets through
timing out on all the write operations and "finishes".  [I would think if
the first write times out, it should return an error and terminate the
dump.  I need to look at that if I ever get back to working on the
driver.]

  The only SII machine I have set up at the momemnt is at work, and I just
haven't had the spare time to be able to work on there.
