I won't describe the woes I have had upgrading my 735 to 10.20
but I have had all kinds of problems with disk timeouts and unrecoverable
LPMCs with 10.20 on my 735.  These problems are only now getting
worked out of 10.20 (see recent patches to wsio driver, etc).
My 735 has about a dozen scsi devices on threee buses, so it
seriously stresses the IO architecture.

The machine ran for years under 9.01 with experiencing any problems
of this kind.
