One possibility is that it's not handling multiple DMA devices talking 
at the same time or calling to arbitrate the bus. Right now I have an 
RL02 controller and the MTI controller but the RL02's are powered down. 
I'll see if I can run it for a bit on RSX11M and get it to fault (and 
backup my disk first as it's nice to have it working again).
