This is a problem I've been after for quite a long time. To cut it short,
I can't get an Adaptec 4000A to accept any defect lists with the
FORMAT command. Several people told me that this is due to some
firmware bug in the Adaptec 4000A, but noone could give me details
on it. I'd like to learn from some SCSI wizard here that this is
all nonsense, the Adaptec 4000A is OK, and I must have been
heavily drunk while programming my formatting routines. _If_ there
is a firmware bug, are there upgrade ROMs for it? If not, what
details may have led me to fail? Thanks for any comment!
