Hi people,

We have here a DECpc XL 590 (it used to be a 466, but got upgraded 
recently). This machine has a Nepture chipset, built-in NCR 53C810, 32MB RAM
and a DE435 ethernet card.

On the SCSI bus I have:
ID 0 - Quantum LPS340S	(340MB disk).
ID 1 - HP C3323-300 (1GB disk).
ID 5 - Toshiba XM-4101TA (2x CD).

All are recognized correctly during boot (both disks work at 10MB/sec).
Both 2.2.2-RELEASE and 2.2-090801-RELENG installs give the following 
shortly after starting writing to the disks (either during newfs-ing them 
or while copying):

ncr0:0: ERROR (20:0) (8-28-0) (8/13) @ (e18:18000140).
	script cmd = 88030000
	reg:	 da 10 80 13 47 08 00 1f 01 08 80 28 00 00 08 00.
ncr0: have to clear fifos.
ncr0: restart (fatal error).
sd0(ncr0:0:0): COMMAND FAILED (9 ff) @f0663c00.
ncr0: timeout ccb=f0663c00 (skip)

and then it just hangs.

This machine used to work fine (without the HP disk though) when it had a 
486 CPU under Win95 and NT, BTW. 

Can anyone make sense of that?

TIA
Nadav
