Hey Dave! (and others that may know...) What bugs/enhancements/other are incorporated in the -04 firmware for the 2620 board? (over the -01 ROMs). The only thing I've heard about is the GVP compatibility issue... What else is in there? also... What's being done about the 2091 problems? When I have two drives hooked up and copy between them, it's only a matter of time (not much) before the system hangs. I understand this is a known bug? and... Will there be an update for the 2091 that will allow configuring for syncronous SCSI devices (full implemenation).

I understand the 2090a supports synchronous data transfers as well. Can someone tell me it it will actively negotiate synchronous with each target or does it depend on the target to do so? --- W.

I understand this is a known bug? > [ More stuff deleted ] Could someone elaborate on this "known bug?" I constantly copy between twe disk drives and haven't seen any problems. I have one Conner internal and one Fujitsu external. Therefore both are terminated. I am not sure about termination on the 2091 when no external devices are on the bus.
