[comp.sys.ibm.pc] wd1007a-wa2 and wd8003e incompatibility!

I have a WD1007A-WA2 and a WD8003e.  When I try to transfer data over
the network (with FTP Software's PC/TCP or Artisoft's LANtastic), the
hard disk keeps locking up.

I just talked to Western Digital tech support.  There is indeed an
incompatibility between the two cards.  They will have a new bios for
the WD1007A soon (about two weeks).

The WD1007V does not exhibit this problem.  Also, it should be faster
(higher transfer rate).

I just thought I'd let the speed demons out there know about this
problem.
