Paul,
I'm surprised we hadn't filed a bug on this before. Thanks for doing it!

I suspect the problem is that the SCSI interface chip is capable of
running "wide" (16-bit data path) and the sym53c8xx assumes that's how
it's wired. The upper bits *probably* are not grounded since the interface
out the back is narrow.
Can anyone confirm this? (ie has 896 or c3k motherboard knowledge?)

[ And I just saw Richard's mail saying parity is wrong for upper bits ]


HPUX queries PDC to determine the SCSI ID (+ other attributes)
and programs the 896 chip accordingly *before* the SCSI bus probe.
I assume bus width is one of the attributes but haven't checked.
