I had similar problem in 1.0e :-) I had Adaptec1542 and Quantum ProDrive.
Actually I had a few 256666Mb drives, and Quantum was the only one to
cause these kind of problems. I fixed this by hacking the kernel scsi
code - fgrep for 'frozen?!' string in kernel code - I really don't remember
where it was, read the code, and why it freezes and either comment it out
or insert #ifdefs. it's up to you. it's quite a hack but I never had a
problem afterwards :-)))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Look at what Linux did - it made everyone aware of Unices, but it has put
back the development of Unix-based OS for decades to come. Dont' ask what
your PC can do for you, but what you can do for your PC - nuke Linux!
