Hello everyone.

	I have just installed an UltraStor 34f on my NetBSD box - 
	it works fine, at IRQ 15, with the external cache disabled.

	Problem is, when I actually plug the SCSI drive (a Seagate
	3600N 525 meg affair) in, with the 50 pin cable, and boot 
	up the machine, it finds everything, the 34f, the Seagate, 
	and then finds 'ISA strayintr 7' and stops dead.

	Without the drive plugged in, everything is fine...I'm 
	running NetBSD-0.9, BTW.

	I know this has been discussed before, could some kind
	soul who has dealt effectively with the strayint problem
	give me a little help here? I would be forever grateful....

Cheers, Colin.
