If you look at the output of the EATA driver in /proc, you will see
something like:
fs:~# cat /proc/scsi/eata_dma/0
EATA (Extended Attachment) driver version: 2.59b
[blah, blah, blah...]
Alarm : off
That "Alarm" line will change to say "on" (or at least something besides
"off") when the alarm beeper on the DPT card is sounding.
It's not very sophisticated, and it won't tell you _what_ is wrong, but at
least it lets you know that something is wrong...
