Which driver update to use? -- SUCCESS!

[Ken Garlock]

No, I am using a Pentium Pro with 2940U and 2 Quantum 2.2GB and 1 IBM 9GB
drives.  Also on the SCSI buss is a Toshiba 6X cdrom drive and an HP tape
drive.

Prior to installing 5.0.19, I had seen a recoverable scsi buss timeout.
That started me chasing after the latest driver updates....
