Recently, I got an active terminator for the 486 and it's been OK for three days, but this does not necessarily explain some of the symptoms. One odd fact is that I have seen the "SCSI command aborting due to timeout for PID xxxxxx" where xxxxxx _is_ a six-digit number. I was under the impression that PIDs were 15 bits.
Inadequate termination can definitely lead to nasty problems, especially once you start boosting performance and trying to push the SCSI bus harder.
The PID in question here is specific to the SCSI Command structure and bears no relationship to the process IDs attached to processes. That's one of the reasons I'm using a different term in my discussion.
BTW, Micropolis drives suck if you bought them in the summer/fall.
The 4110 sucks no matter when you bought it. I've added a blacklist feature to disable tagged queuing on these drives and any others that are just plain buggy.
