As much as I hate to disagree with Roy, we have 2 systems running with
an ACB2322B, apparently with the read-ahead cache enabled, and both
are working perfectly well with both SCO Xenix 2.3.2 and SCO Unix V.

Roy, what do you think the problem is, are we living with a time bomb???

I am really curious about this, as the ACB2322B is the only ESDI controller
I have been using that has been relatively trouble free.
