Ok, one more time. My warranty finally expired (thanks for 1 year!) on
my 2500/30. I have two drives which would occasionally hang, even with
reselection properly disabled. I brought the computer in (a major hassle,
a town away) for whatever was the latest rom upgrade. It is still 6.1.
Two points about 6.1 roms, from trials: One, reselection is still not
supported. I managed to hang the scsi bus in one try. It does seem to
work with reselection disabled.
This was a big disappointment, though, because reselection is SCSI's way
of getting decent performance out of multiple drives. I hear a new rom
(6.6?) is being worked on that fixes the reselection bug. I'm hoping
it will still be covered by warranty, or at least _real_ cheap.
any word on release dates? (I'd be glad to test beta roms 8^)
