SLC disk problems

[Steve Berger]

I recently posted a problem concerning my Sun Sparcstation SLC.  Turns out
the problem is a SCSI bus problem.  Sun is working on a fix for it.  There
error I was getting was:
	
esp0:	0.0 data transfer failure
	Stat=0x10<XZERO>, Intr=0x10<BUS>
	Last state='UNKNOWN', Last cmd='dma tran_info'
	DMA addr=0xff105000, last=0xff103000;Dma CSR=0x80000000
	Mapped Dma Space:
		Base = 0xff103000 Count = 0x2000
	Transfer History:
		Base = 0xff103000 Count = 0x2000
sd3:	SCSI transport failed: reason 'reset': retrying command

Turns out, it depends on how many things you have on the bus, and it
happens both with Sun equipment and third party hardware.  Thought I would
post this for information purposes.
