^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Though running the BusLogic/BusTek 742a with the aha driver does work,
it is marginal at best. You should be using the bt742.c driver!!
This is probably why you have seen problems on both NetBSD and FreeBSD
with this system. Convert to using the bt742 driver (should actually
be automatic in FreeBSD, unless perhaps you have your bt742 set to
1542 emulation mode).
