Ok, well, I have this un-committed change sitting in my tree that=E2=80=99=
s LIKE A SPLINTER IN MY MIND=E2=80=A6

So, I dug out my other AlphaStation 200 (which, alas, is dead, Jim) and =
scavenged the ISP1020A board out of it (oh hey, now it=E2=80=99s an =
organ donor!) and plopped it into my DS10 which, for various reasons =
(don=E2=80=99t ask), is more accessible at the moment than my other =
AlphaStation-with-an-ISP1020A.

And then ordered a new BlueSCSI UltraWide and a cable to go along with =
it.  So, hopefully soon I=E2=80=99ll be able to test the fix myself.
