Service centers have received a bulletin concerning this problem on the
A2091. A fix will be (or recently has been) released. Check with your
dealer/service center for the current status. You will need to bring your
controller in to have the offending IC replaced.
 
This is a known problem. I believe it will be covered as an in-warranty
repair. As it should be.

A3000s have a similar, but unrelated problem with multiple SCSI devices. At
least in the early units that were shipped.
