Cool!

That's a good one.  I've seen that before, but never need it happen
quite so regularly and severly...

The z8530 has a hardware settle time, and I'd always thought that that
was taken care of in hardware on the alpha since i figured that if
that _was_ a problem, it would have blown up more severely...


I've built a kernel which includes short delays when accessing the SCC
registers.  it's now at:

	ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/incoming/cgd/netbsd.GENERIC.gz 

(same place as the old one)

I've booted it on my 3000/300LX, and it seems to work fine there.
(just a sanity check; it used to work fine...  8-)
