Rats, I knew I should have asked awhile ago - I'd have listened a lot more
closely to the recent discussions about machine checks on the miata and SX.

Anyhow, this is NetBSD 1.3.2 when probing the second adaptec card, and 
sometimes when probing the de500 card on a machine with a single 
adaptec.  I guess we'd better sup the latest kernel and try it.
