Hmm...I'm running an Ultrastore 34f in my home system with the 34f driver
from 2.0.27 (I think) and haven't noticed problems. I've got a 3gb DEC
DSP5300, 2 CD's (one is an MBR-7 CD changer), 2 DAT's (one 2/4gb, one
4/8gb DAT autoloader) all attached to it. I boot from and do most of my
work on IDE disks though...at least at home.

I've been using it (usually linked into the kernel, but recently as a
module) with no obvious problems.
