  I have not seen any problems with the wierd SCSI driver states when
using MI SCSI driver code, even running the things I do which show up
with the old pmax driver.

  I finally shuffled some DEC boxes around and got a 5000/200 connected
back up (it's stacked up with a 3100 and a 5000/150, but I can only
connect one machine at a time).

  My GENERIC kernels that I have been using for working on the current MI
SCSI issues fail to boot on the 5000/200.  I've only got a serial console
at the moment, and the machine stops after printing out the 'copying out
flags' (or was it 'copying out path` - my short term memory failed) and I
can only recover with a reset.  [The same kernel boots fine on a 3100,
5000/25, and 5000/150).  I'll be investigating this further when I get the
time.
