If someone will tell me what is wrong, or at least how to recreate the
problems, I will take a look at it.  I have the hw docs on the 6360,
but noothing on the 6260, or even diffs between the two.  And my 1522A
works great right now.  I've not seen any major problems with it.  My
friend has a 1510A (or something else that has the 6360 on it) and
he's able to do cdrom w/o major problems.  I've never been able to get
my 1522 to work (which has the 6260), however.  Won't even boot.

Also, even though the driver hasn't change much at all since the 2.1
days, some versions of FreeBSD seem to be happier with it than
others.  I had a 2.1.7 boot disk love it, when the 2.1.5 disk hated
it, and there were no deltas that I could find between the two.
OpenBSD's driver has had the same problem with the cards that I have
here.
