- I have an ELC running 4.1.1 that drops into the PROM monitor from time
- to time, and the only error I can see anywhere is "zs3: silo
- overflow". Usually, the machine can be continued. The man page for
- zs(4s) says this is the second (serial) port on the first SCSI board.
- Our SCSI has no serial ports attached, just one disk (Wren VIII).
-
- Anybody have any ideas about what's going on, and how to stop it?

- I think zs2 & zs3 is for the keyboard and mouse. To me it seems that
- the man page only counts SCC chips while the error messages are for
- the ports.

- I get these kind of messages on my Sun386i from time to time when I
- move the mouse around and the machine seems locked up doing other
- things.
