  SCO has this same problem, and released a fix for it (although they
labeled it for 1007). I haven't had a lockup in months, so I call it
fixed. Call the vendor and tell them that the setup will run with SCO.
The problem was (reported to me) that when the o/s started a seek on one
drive and a read on the other, that when the interrupt came back the
kernel got confused about which operation was complete.
