Can you put me in touch with this friend?  Ever since I upgraded to 1.3
I have been unable to talk to my big SCSI disk -- it hangs in BindDrivers.
I hoped that 1.3.2 would fix the problem, but it didn't, so the only thing
that seems feasible is to reverse-engineer the driver for the 2090 and
debug the problem myself.  If your friend could make the disassembled
driver available to me, it would save a lot of time.

I sent the above via mail to Patrick, but I also have a question for the
assembled net.wisdom:  What changed from 1.2 to 1.3 that might cause my
problem?  Getting the drive to bind under 1.2 was somewhat flakey -- it
would sometimes take two or three reboots before the drive was recognized
as present, although it never just hung -- but once recognized, it ran very
reliably.

After spending all that money on a 400Mb drive, I'd like to be able to use it!

Thanks in advance,
