As I told earlier the fileserver I have here with the HT1000 chip also 
has a marvel 6081 and it is on PCI-X. There are 4 disks on each and it 
moves lots of data around on a daily basis, no problems whatsoever. I 
have planned downtime today on it and will experiment with it, but I 
can't hold it off for too long...
