No, I need to download a snap and try that.  I will do that tonight.
Last night I retried all the bits I had available, and everything
beyond 1.3.3 croaks, either by freezing or by panicing.  The 1.5 and
later just freezes.  The 1.4-1.4X just panics or dies with a scsi dma
error.  The 1.2.1 and 1.3.3 do fine.  They seem to have the polling
scsi drivers.  Is there anything strange in the later scsi drivers
as regards a sun 4100 cpu, or might I have a wierd cpu?
