One of you, I forgot whom, had the new XP1000 to play with- it had a new
rev 'C' ISP1040 in it- I updated the driver to treat it like a ISP1040B
and I'd like to know if it's been working okay.

Secondly- I upped the queue limits again to 256- that used to give Doug's
system agita. Let me know if it breaks again. The limit's going higher
later- the 1080/1240 can take up to 1024 entries (I've done the 1080
support and the 1240 support is almost done and is in partial test at a
place in England). I've also committed to using the FAST POST feature
(commands that complete okay don't get a response updated in the response
queue- instead the command handle is posted to mailbox registers and an
async event interrupt is posted).

Basically, if you see some breakage, let me know sooner rather than later.
That goes for all on this list that use these adapters- I *know* that
NCR is popular 'coz of price, but the driver sure seems iffy. I've been
doing some work on a Solaris NCR driver (to add Ultra2 support) and while
that driver is stunningly better than any other of the NCR drivers I've
seen, it's *still* a mess.
