Try your local SI sales office. SI offer "support" to UNIX sites. They will
provide a device driver and utilities for bad block handling, formatting and
so on. They may not be up to speed for 4.3 yet, but we have the 4.2 versions
and have no complaints. [We've only just been told that the US Govt. will
allow us to get 4.3 - we don't hve it yet.]
