Tried it with "verbose" and manual termination settings - still no
error messages, just locks solid. I noticed that this happens when both
drives are being accessed at the same time. I set the driver up for 16
CMD/LUN, the proc entry says that 16 are being used - I guess one of the
drives doesn't support more than 1.

BTW the driver no longer prints out the number of SCBs per device during
startup.
