   That seems kind of strange, but I had problems using a 1742 with modern
drives myself back in FreeBSD 1.x days - it simply refused to work reliably
in fast (10MHz) mode with certain drives - actually resulting in corrupt
data being written out(!). ...I don't know if this is at all related to
your problem, however. You might try slowing things down to 5MHz though...
