Nope, it's a NeXT external PLI drive.  I have been getting some other spooky
console messages as well- so I am going to take everything out of the SCSI
chain instead of the PLI drive and then wait_n_see...  Next, I will probably
put all the SCSI stuff back except for the PLI drive.  The darn thing about
all this is that it is an intermitant problem.   So far only one other person
has noted a similar problem with no fixes yet!
