I have a 2090 controller and an ST-506 drive, and the optimize function yielded spectacular crashes for me, too. Everything else seemed to work alright... This was under 1.3 on a 2000, with QBTools v1.2 (I didn't notice that it was 1.2a, so perhaps mine isn't the latest version?). I have pretty good faith that CCS will fix the problem, so I'm not ready to give up on the program yet (and the recover/repair options will probably be more useful to me, in general, than the optimize functions).
