If I'm not mistaken, it does; you have to explicitly enable linked 
commands, now.  In any case I've tried a GENERIC kernel since that change 
and I still had filesystem corruption.

I suspect this is a _much_ bigger problem on slower devices.  My disk 
isn't exactly current technology...

The sbc driver seems to be very stable, even if it is a little slower.  
If you don't use a tape drive it should be acceptable for everyday use.  
In fact, I know of one IIci and one IIsi that won't run with the ncrscsi 
driver...
