I have a Vaxstation II with a Maxtor 8760 (ESDI) disk and its
controller (Sigma SDC-RqD11-EC), but for a while now, syserr has
been reporting errors on my **nonexistent** RX50 floppy drive!
Has anyone seen this before, and what the heck does it mean?

Thanks for any info.
Here is the output from uerf:

I don't speak for LBL; they don't pay me enough for that.
