I recently got my new DK440LX motherboard cranking (it's great!) and
I've not seen the ahc driver since back in 1.1.5.1 days.  It went real
smoothly getting it going (well, one f-u, but we won't talk about that
:-) .... anyhow, I noticed the boot messages produced by the ahc driver,
it seemed excessively verbose.  The DK440LX has the 7895 controller
which has 2 busses, and all targets on both buses get a line each to
announce their status.  I get a LOT of these lines:

ahc0: Selection Timeout on A:1. 1 SCBs aborted
ahc1: Selection Timeout on A:0. 1 SCBs aborted
ahc0: Selection Timeout on A:2. 1 SCBs aborted
ahc1: Selection Timeout on A:2. 1 SCBs aborted

32 lines of this.  Isn't this really excessive?  For anyone?  Even if
the messages are needed (and I like having the message) it wouldn't be
all that difficult to come up with a format to squeeze all messages from
each buss into 2 lines (one header, one data line) so all the info could
still be displayed, but in a far more readable format.

Am I off here?
