I have a 3000T with:
-04 Ramsey
-02 DMAC
-07 Buster
-04 SCSI (WD33C93A)
I have been running NetBSD 1.1 for a couple of months and have not had any disk
problems (2 x Seagate, 1 x Rodime). I do get SCSI bus lockups with my Tandberg
TDC3600 tape drive but from what I have heard, that is almost certainly a
problem with the Tandberg rather than the Amiga (it doesn't work reliably under
AmigaDOS either).
If you are going to change anything, try upgrading the SCSI chip to a revision
08 if it is currently an 04. I haven't tried this, but I have seen reports that
it resolves problems with some drive combinations.
