I was told by several M.O. houses and by Seagate themselves that
there was NO guarrantee as to what ROM i would get when ordering
a drive. 

Several houses maintained that it would be impossible
for them to specifically pick out a drive with 
a specific code representing a specific ROM for a 
specific person.

SO don't be disappointed if you ask for a ROM 7 or a 
working revision (12?) and you get a ROM 8.
Just guys in the back room loading boxes.
