Oh, yes, all of them have the same problem, but their drivers don't
inform about it. It is indeed a microcode problem, so it would be a quite
bad idea for DEC to tell people "this hardware is flakey" :-)

You can look at the original DEC driver that were in NetBSD, it have some
of the compensation code for bad DEQNA's. Note that the DEC driver is
quite slow; it could almost reach 200k/s (in both directions). The new
one I wrote peeks about 500k/s.
