Unfortunately most vendors set some vendor specific bits in the command or require a certain pattern of commands for the firmware to stick. Your best bet is to boot a DOS floppy with the ASPI drivers for the adaptec, and the firmware stuff on it. > As for the firmware upgrade itself...where do I get it from? ftp://ftp.quantum.com/Firmware/AtlasI/L915 Or something like that. -- Justin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
