The MBA bytecount was off after hitting a bad block (BSE). This doesn't happen on a SC750 we have in another machine. We checked with another site that had an Eagle/SC7000 pair just installed: Same symptoms. So we assumed a firmware bug, put a quick fix in hp.c and got on the phone to emulex. We were soon talking to someone very competent at their London office. Although there were some relaying problems Dortmund <-> London <-> USA they made very sure to understand the problem. Not one word about driver kludges and "it works with VMS". If it didn't work like DEC they wouldn't argue. About six weeks later (remember this is Europe) we had new firmware and now it works. -Daniel Karrenberg NB: I am not affiliated with Emulex, just a satisfied customer.
