Hello,
    
    I've been having trouble with a DAT drive. It seems after some
    random amount of the time I get:

    esp0: RESELECT: 7 bytes in FIFO!
    ...
    tar: read error on /dev/nrst0 : Input/output error
    tar: Too many errors, quitting.

    Another interesting thing is doing cat /dev/zero > somefile.
    The creates the same esp0:.. message and then hangs the system.

    This is a SS1+ running NetBSD-1.2.1 GENERIC.

    Is there a newer kernel I can try?

                                                                Thanks,
                                                                Joe
