  On a Symbios controller:
ncr0 at pci0 dev 19 function 0: NCR 53c875 Wide SCSI
ncr0: interrupting at irq 10
        initial value of SCNTL3 = 03, final = 13

  I have:

sd0 at scsibus0 targ 0 lun 0: <MICROP, 1588-15MBSUN0669, SN0C> SCSI1 0/direct fixed
sd0: 639MB, 1632 cyl, 15 head, 53 sec, 512 bytes/sec

  I'm running a -current kernel of mid-May vintage.
  
  When I do:

istari# chio status
chio: /dev/ch0: CHIOGSTATUS: Input/output error

  Syslog says:

  I had thought that some patches that I saw in -current to scsiconf.c
and friends had an entry for the 28849, but it was for the Python
28454-XXX. The quirk for the 28454-XXX is that it has no luns, but
I don't think the problem is related, since the 28849 does have luns.

  Does anyone have any advice? I'm going to contact Archive about a
full spec sheet. (hmm.... can't find them on the net)
