Barry Johnson at HDI told me that as soon as they receive a ST296N
with revision level 12 ROM from Seagate they'll notify me and I can
send my old drive back for a new one. But more than a month now has
passed and no upgraded drives seem to have arrived. So is Seagate
turning them out or what?
Roy Neese at Adaptec told me not to expect miracles from replacing
the ST02 with an Adaptec controller, saying they are some of
the poorest performing SCSI drives on the market.
Well, I don't know about that, but I do know that I'll settle for
nothing less than 900K/s.
