I hope this gets out there, as this is my first post.

I just purchased a Seagate ST296N, but haven't received it yet.  I
remember reading articles previously about problems with the Rom 8
chip set over the Rom 7. 

Could somebody PLEASE reproduce some of the information about it?  I
didn't realize when I changed my order to the 296N, that I'd be
getting a bad hard drive.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Domingo B. Alvear (Dom)
