I have Dell Unix issue 2.2 running on a 486/DX50.  Works great except for
1 small problem: It doesn't seem to like my Syquest 88 Meg cartridge drive.
The drive actually seems to work fine...it's just that Unix occasionally
emits a SCSI error message on the console (I have an Adaptec 1542B
controller).  Here is the message (paraphrased):

  SD01: I/O error HA0 TC5 Unit 1 Err 0x6DD0E001
  Sense Key 0x5, Ext Sense 0x49, Opcode 0x25

When I first boot up, I get scads of the above message on the console but
it doesn't seem to hurt anything and the system does come up.  I haven't
actually timed it, but the message seems to come out every 2 minutes or
so after boot.

Other than the clutter on the console, everything seems to work fine.  I can
format a cartridge with a Unix partition, run mkfs on it, mount it and
use it with no problems.  Anyone have any idea about what's going on?
