FreeBSD is running the new release of Julian's SCSI code that fixes
many bugs.  NetBSD 0.9 and NetBSD current aren't.  "Some" (and I don't
know who some are) have apparently got the new scsi system working on
NetBSD; hopefully it can be merged into NetBSD current.

In particular I remember that there was something questionable about that
bus speed calculation that is printing out "bus speed 200ns".

The new scsi code is on freefall.cdrom.com under /pub in some of the
scsi directories.
