I've just got a Intel 403e (33Mhz 486) with 8Mb RAM, 1740 EISA SCSI
and a HP 680Mb SCSI drive (model 97548su I believe).

I do not have this problem.

I do have a problem that Colin obviously has not.
If I have a SCSI tape unit on the SCSI bus AND 
the SCSI tape driver is configured, the kernel 
will panic while booting.

I have tried Archive VIPER 2150s and 2060s
and WangDAT drives, without any difference.

These tape units are recognized by and can be 
erased by Roy Neese's utilities.

According to our Intel representative, this is a known
problem and ISC should have a fix. Nor Intel, nor
our ISC dealer could acknowledge whether this is the SSU.7
fix that I am awaiting. If it is, I'll let the net know.
