Yep, I do. I did several SBus SCSI host adapters. Also, when I was booting
the system I noticed that the kernel did have some problems with my archive
DAT tape drive. I`m not sure if this is related to configuration or what.
But, from looking at the driver code there are a few spots where we bang
on the chip at the wrong time..

You're the second person to mention to me that I need to work on the esp
stuff. Maybe that's my calling...
