My drive has the following on it: top (where the label is): BW993FC CFP1060S SSP-01 9WA2.66R1 <- is that firmware version (2.66R1?) J35113 503 SG3 <- smaller print - serial numbers?? on the bottom, it has two chips on sockets (look like flash ROMs), with paper stickers on them, which read: 9WS 9WA <- chip no.? 0.24 2.66R1 <- version? CD00 b B3CC c <- checksum / ?? > That's bad.

The 1.60 could be upgraded only at Conner's site. Btw, they say that problem was manifested itself under Linux ;-) (lead to filesystem corruption under heavy disk use) Should we add this info to HW compatibility guide? > Yes, really.

So sharp your axe!!! :-) gonna do _real_ hacking w/soldering iron ;-)
