I've looked a little at Ultrix, but it's definitely not fun trying to
reverse-engineer MSCP from that, and that code have nothing in common with
the driver in NetBSD.

Anyhow, many people have reported having problems with the CMD
controllers, but the symptoms are different. For me, the whole machine
hangs so hard I have to power cycle it.

VMS works like a champ, so I'm pretty sure I don't have a hardware
problem. This is on a 3600.
