  I have been using the current sbic driver on a G-Force 040 board, connected
to a DEC RZ24 drive, and an Adaptec ACB-4000 with two MFM drives.  I had
been having system lock ups with the SCSI bus active rather frequently when
using the old sbic driver.  Since using the current driver, I have not had
the system lock up like that.

  I have also used the current sbic driver on an GVP HardCard+8 board
connected to either a Seagate Elite 2 or a Seagate Barracuda II drive.
I have seen only one problem with the current driver:  when the Seagate
Elite 2 drive would get reset due to a power hit, the driver would seem
to get stuck trying to get the drive error status.  I was never around
when this situation occurred, so I'm not certain what the drive did (the
drive is in an external cabinet - I'm assuming that the external cabinet
power supply did not stay up during the power fluxuation, while the Amiga
did.).
