Hi. I own a NCR53c810 SCSI card, and here are the messages
that appeared on the screen till today: (they were all OK)

---------------------------------------------------------------------
ncr53c8xx : at PCI bus 0, device 9, function 0

---------------------------------------------------------------------

I had 2 FPG SIMMs of 16Mb each, but they didn't work well, so
today I changed them with 2 EDO SIMMs, 16Mb each. I haven't made any
other change. Now the messages from the SCSI are:

---------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------

followed by *a lot* (thousands) of lines like this one:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
ncr53c810-0-<target 0, lun 0>: phase change 6-2 1@00093cb4 resid=1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Appart from this, the system appears to work ok.

Does anybody know the meaning of this? Are those messages
harmless?

Thank you for you attention :)
