The old driver would crash on command. All one had to do was run the seek
subtest of bonnie or swap to a drive on it. Instant SCSI bus lock. The new
driver is much improved. It has made my old IN2000 a very solid controller.
Now, if I could just figure out what's crashing the system now... Why are all
of these 'update' processes lying about? *sigh*

One flipper up for the new IN2000 driver. Good job John!
