Our 3000/500 had _major_ problems with duplicated characters when running
off the GENERIC kernel in the 1.2 distribution.  Upgrading it to a current
(as of about two or three weeks ago) kernel took care of it.  It's been
well-behaved since.

While I'm writing: I'm running this box with SCSI disks mounted both
internally and externally.  A few minutes ago, browsing the web pages for
the alpha port, I read that this will not work, and will cause data
loss.  Am I misreading the warning, or am I being very, very lucky?
