This is just a heads up that the dreaded "Queue Full" problem with the Quantum Atlas and the aic7xxx driver has been found. Unfortunately the fix is not as simple as downloading a new version of the FreeBSD driver. The problem is a bug in level 912 of the Atlas firmware. You can obtain the necessary files to upgrade your firmware from Quantum's ftp site. You will have to run Dos and Adaptec's ASPI drivers in order to download the firmware to the drive. The URL is: ftp://ftp.qntum.com/pub/support/Firmware/Atlas Owners of Atlas-II drives may also want to look into upgrading their firmware to the latest. The release notes of the upgrade I found mention a few tagged queueing bugs although there is no mention of the "Queue Full" problem. Seeing as the didn't mention it directly for the Atlas either, it may be that they fixed the same problem for the Atlas-II as well. The URL is: ftp://ftp.qntum.com/pub/support/Firmware/Atlas-II I hope you all have many happy "Queue Full" free days ahead. 8-) __ Justin T.
