Now that you mention it, yeh.  I do have the same problem 'from time to time'
Loops in the same place every time (waiting for a bit to get set in scsi_disp)
Running disk tests claim that the disk media is ok

I'm not. I'm still on 4.3 (I don't trust these fancy new systems yet) on
a Mac+ with 2.5 meg.

I had put it down to the fact that I am running a no-name drive (constructed
by one of the local computer store hardware hackers, probably from a Seagate)
I have already had to make one change to the driver he wrote (he managed to
have a word being accessed at an odd address).  My guess was that the drive
does not really support blind read/writes properly, and its getting behind
just long enough to hang...

Anyone got any ideas?
