These kinds of errors are typical of something wedging the
SCSI bus and hanging the controller.
As always, "SCSI bus integrity". Be sure that only the first
and last devices are terminated, that you have the appropriate
cables, and that someone is supplying terminator power.

A disk transfer timed out. The 1542B light is probably on solid,
and the firmware is hung.

The 1542 won't talk.

If "ddb" were configured you'd be in ddb now.

The host adapter transaction timed out again...

And the command mailbox is not free. It is still the 02 put there
to try to abort the transaction.

If this isn't the cables, then maybe there is a new firmware rev for something?
