Gee..why are commands from the controller to the disks timing out?

I/O errors from the disk. That's probably not a good sign. Again...this
could be incorrect cabling/termination, or maybe the disk is really dying.
Have you looked at it with scsi-config and verified things like ARRE and
AWRE are enabled?

Someone like Doug or Gerard (people who know SCSI) can probably give you
more meaningful interpretations, but I suspect it's your hardware still.
Either that, or the 1740 driver has been badly broken sometime between
1.2.x and today. Like I said...I used to run a news server with one,
pounding the disks 24/7 with no real problems.
