I had a HP C1534A SCSI DAT drive connected to an Adaptec 2940 running
FreeBSD-2.1.5 and had lots of trouble with the drive causing SCSI resets
whenever I tried to use the drive.  First it timed out during 'data-out
phase' then it reset the SCSI bus, sometimes even reseting my hard-drives
:(

I solved the problem by moving to 2.2-960801-SNAP.  It now works fine....
so there must be something in the SCSI code that's different.  I know the
the SCSI code has been pretty much re-written a couple of days ago in
CURRENT, but this is a production machine and SNAP is as daring as I want
to be :)

You may be able to just move the SCSI stuff from SNAP into 2.1.5, but I
don't know if it depends on anything in particular in 2.2 that 2.1.5
doesn't have.
