data point:
	sun-lamp, running NetBSD-current (8-), has:
		3 SCSI disks
		1 SCSI CD-ROM
		1 SCSI tape attached

and all works wonderfully with the exception of
"... device timed out" which i sometimes see during dumps on the
tape drive...

i've had that problem for a few geologic ages now, under
386bsd and NetBSD-*, and i've yet to find a solution...  drives
me nuts doing dumps...


but other than that (occasional) problem, everything works wonderfully...
