I am using a 3c589 and remember having the same symptoms at first. Jmk then
gave me the hint to try the other slot which amazingly did the trick. I then
didn't investigate that further. Incidentally, I'm also having a 572 lying
around I'm hoping to get running someday. As far as I remember, those are
pretty close to the 574/575 bunch driver-wise. Just not supported on Plan 9.
While somewhat unspecific, I hope that helps somewhat,
Martin
