Greetings, I'm running recent build of NetBSD-3 on Ultra 10 with IDE hard disk (I haven't
tried it with with external SCSI disk as it contains Solaris). On heavy disk I/O (cvs
update, or pkg_add) XMMS audio playback gets quite choppy, with bleeps and pauses. I've
never experienced this on i386 hardware. Do you think this is hardware related, i.e. the
way Sun's motherboard and I/O subsystem are designed, or could it be reated to NetBSD's
audio/disk drivers?
