I have, and I emailed Russ Nelson about it last week but I haven't heard
back.  He may be on vacation (it's that time of the year, ya know).
I'll give him a few more days before I try again.

Anyway, I am suspect of ALL the alpha release 4 drivers, as I suspect
a bug in the HEAD/TAIL.ASM files.  I experienced the same problem on a
3c503 as well as the 5210.  I am back to using v3 now with success.
