The original poster had problems with an NCR-based controller, and
so the "too fast Quantum" problem probably isn't the cause. People are
using Atlas drives with NCR-based controllers without any problems (me,
for one).
I think it's more likely that the original poster was using a buggy
release of FreeBSD (I think he mentioned 2.0).
