The scsi board that I have is the NCR 810 card and trying to do this with a Wangtek 1300xl Tabe Backup drive. Adam

For 215R this works fine on my P100 equipped with dual NCR810. Doing the same on a DX2-50 with 215R and Adaptec 1740 has a good chance of locking up the system.

Btw., i've been surprised to see that it works with the 2940 (i think, for the first time now with the `ahc' driver) in -current.

It doesn't work for most drivers because they don't disable their interrupt when asked to poll. I fixed this in the aic7xxx driver a while back and all drivers on the 'SCSI' branch as well. The other problems with it is that some of the type device datastructures get clobered so if you have pending transactions on any device on that bus, you lose.
