I have some experience (ages ago circa 2.2.x) fixing SCSI drivers for
the m68k Macintosh port.  I've not looked at the esp drivers for some
time, but perhaps I can take a look at this issue.  Are all Sparc's
using the esp driver experiencing the issue?   Which source tree should
I look at?  If there is no maintainer for 32 bit Sparc how would I get
any potential fix merged?
