Gibbs" Sender: current-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Rod Grimes has just discovered a problem with the Wide support in the aic7xxx driver that I think anyone using or thinking of using these controllers should know about. Although I cannot reproduce this on the wide Seagate Hawk drives that I have access to, the driver will drop bytes in certain scenarios during read transfers on at least Quantum Atlas and Micropolis Wide drives. I hope to have a solution to this problem shortly. Until then, if you experience problems with this driver, please let me know. So far, disabling wide transfers in Scsi-Select is a temporary work around. -- Justin T.
