Yes.  Well, it may be a driver issue for ESP100, but I've not yet had
any problems with ESP200 and any drives that worked with SunOS (4 or 5),
or in most cases I've tried with other NetBSD drivers that used tagged
queuing.

I don't know where you got that idea of what you think I might think,
but you've got it backwards.  I do know very much that people move
drives around (myself included) which is why I say any change to disable
tagged queuing must be done across the board on all ports and on all
drivers, even the scsipi-enabled ones.  All or nothing.  Fair is fair.

indeed, but only if they can also assure us that other physical and
electrical issues are not to blame one way or another (cables,
connectors, terminators, power supplies, etc.)
