I just called my dealer about my 2091 that still hangs when both drives
are being accessed a lot.  I've got the A version of the WD chip, and
6.1 roms.  He said he just got a note from cbm, which states the 6.6 ROMS
are available, but aren't a warranty upgrade.  It refered to a price sheet
that wasn't sent to him for the price of these chips.

I know we hashed this over and over one, three and five months ago, but
here we are, a bunch of 2500 owners (and 2091 owners) with a controller
that hangs when we try to really use them. This is getting really frustrating.

So, to the person that asks whether the 3000 is really worth it, I am
tempted to reply that yes it is, because so far noone's noticed a serious
problem with it.  (My 2320 still has the 777/888 grey problem...)

Not that I'm particularly mad at Commodore, heck, they've given me three
opportunities to trade my 6 year old A1000 for newer, better machines.
There just seems to be some gaps in their customer relations...
