I seem to have been having problems with an old ide scsi card that was
in interupt hell.
I replaced it with a new BusLogic 948 for a different reason and
although I still get the pll status change 89 log entry it oly changes
the status to 1 rather than an unsyncrrnized level (bit 64)
It's been sync'ed to the same server for the better part of a day now
and that has not happened since I upgraded the motherboard.
I appreceiate both you and Glenn getting back to me.
