Depending on what sort of NCR board you have, I would suggest trying out
the new sym driver, written by Gerard Roudier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
It is located here:
ftp://ftp.tux.org/tux/roudier/drivers/freebsd/experimental/
Look at the readme file in that directory to determine whether your board
is supported. If you have questions, problems, etc., with the sym driver,
contact Gerard.
In general, the stock NCR driver isn't being actively maintained, and your
problem could be the result of a bug in the driver, or some problem with
your MO drive. It's hard to say for sure. Gerard's driver is actively
maintained, though, so if you still have problems with his driver, it'll be
easier to get the problems fixed.
