  The 5000/240 uses the IOASIC SCSI normally, and the problem appears to
only be in the TurboChannel-option SCSI that the 5000/200 has.  It's
possibl that the problem may show up on the TC-option card on the other
systems, but not too many people are using the TC-option card when they
have the IOASIC SCSI.  [The IOASIC SCSI will use DMA directly to memory,
while all the TC-option SCSI cards have to copy data to/from the on-card
memory buffer.]
