Yes. Only the first two of these are from a 9.2 era system (also the ones = with the most recent firmware). We did have timeout issues while testing this platform which were = resolved by taking the mfi driver from -HEAD at the time and setting = hw.mfi.msi=3D1. The oldest ones have been running for over two years. I can go through our Perforce depot to tell you exactly what mfi driver = they=92re running, if you care. Regards, Jan.
