Here is some info about my problem with an adaptec 2940 and a Wangtek
tape. When the machine hangs I get the following output:

SCSI0 Parity error during phase Data-Out on target 4, channel 0, lun0.
SCSI0 Parity error during phase Data-Out on target 4, channel 0, lun0.
SCSI0 channel 0: resetting for second half of retries.

aic7xxx: (reset_device) target/channel -1/A to scb 4/A

aic7xxx: (reset_channel) Resetting current channel
aic7xxx: (reset_channel) Chanel reset, sequencer restarted

After this it's completely dead.

On bootup I get the following information about the scsi-card and
tape/disks:

appear in 2.0.12
