I'm not sure. I'm hoping to get them to work though. I've got 3 511s
(and more available at $10/each) that have a Micropolis 1325 (behind an
ACB-4000) and a Wangtek 5099EN24 (behind an Emulex MT02). Not much space,
but enough for a maxed out headless 3/60 to drive 2 3/50s as Xterminals.
All the 1325s ave SunOS on them and can boot a 3/[56]0 just fine but barf
with NetBSD.
I tried the suggested patch to scsi/scsiconf.c with no effect.
I tried turning parity off in the esp driver, which gets rid of the parity
errors, but gives me "sense error 32"
Anyone got any ideas?
