Nope. Wrong situation here. Typical example: I'm Quarterbacking my
dh0: partition. I'm on disk 9 of a 13 disk set, my df0: clicking away,
and -- FREEZE. Green light steady on the hard drive, every process
with priority lower than the SCSIf-handler locked. 

My setup again: A500, C Ltd. Kronos, ST157N. 

"solved" using the Disable_IRQ in the DevSetup, but won't know if the
problem is my board or their software until my dealer gets the
replacement board.
