Bugger. But you're right. I haven't seen it on PCI cards tho' I wouldn't put
it past Sun to have something that arcane :-) Twas a wild, unsubstantiated,
stab in the dark, guess really.

It could be that the driver is still allowing for this sort of status on a
card that doesn't have it anymore.

Anyhoo, the errors never stopped the Sparc here either.
