I think this is the infamous problem of the NCR driver not supporting
disconnect/reconnect. Any operation on the SCSI bus block just about
everything else until it completes. Thus, this is the reason I don't
have my tape drive on that controller :)
But then, I could be wrong...
Nope. The problem is that the Seagate is doing something bogus,
and locking up the SCSI bus. Some 296Ns do this with a wide
variety of SCSI controllers (Adaptec 154xs, etc) so it could be
a firmware problem, or a dying drive.
