OH, does this machine have a cache? We had a /45, and got a
cache module for it. It DRAMATICALLY speeded up the system,
BUT, it caused extremely weird and irreproducible results,
so we had to take it out. I never understood the problem,
but I think it might have been that the cache did not snoop
DMA transfers. It ran a single user fine all day, when a
second user started doing things, both users got crashes and
garbled data. This was on RSX-11M.
