Greetings,

I've purchased the NCR810 controller, but I've noticed some strange things
while running my system at the 83MHz (3.0X, 83Mhz = 250)  bus speed.  Make
-k world from clean 2.2.5 source on hardware that's known to build (with
the exception of this controller) keeps rebooting in the early stages of
make world.  As best as I can tell it is rebooting during libg++ (started
with "time make -k world >& /home/bsampley/mk_world.250.83").  At first I
thought the problem was the second hard drive (ST43400).  When I first
installed the new controller, I noticed the "little green light"  on the
front of the drive was flashing rapidly after the controller found the
drive.  I tried adjusting the jumpers, but I couldn't find a setting that
made the drive happy.  I later changed my mind when I received similar
signal 11 errors while attempting to build cvsup from the ports collection
(which is mounted on the other drive).  All of the ports I have tried have
been able build without errors (like afterstep, xlockmore, staroffice,
filerunner, tcl-8.0, ssh and xv) except cvsup.  Any ideas, or is my
hardware telling me it's not going to fly at 83MHz?  BTW, Windoze95 (which
is only kept for games runs fine at 83MHz on sd0.  Tom's hardware page
says if Win95 will run overclocked without blowing up, then your chances
are good at overclocking the board/cpu).
