We have a MIPS-supplied ISI CP serial/parallel board in our system.
When we upgraded from the old BSD version of RISC/os to the newer
RISC/os 4.51, the parallel printer port promptly stopped working.
Whenever there's an attempt to print something via lpr, errors now
appear in /usr/adm/messages to the effect that there is a VME bus
error.  This is a pretty severe problem.  Has anyone had a similar
problem...and gotten a fix for it?
