Hmm..I just sent mail to Justin Gibbs, but since the thread is continuing, I'll ask publicly...

Under 2.0.5 I am having writing large files to my Zip Drive hung on my 2940. Short transfers work fine, but if I try to copy a large file, the SCSI bus hangs after a little while, then eventually the machine freezes (when it tries to swap something back in, I suppose). I haven't had time to look at the problem in depth, but I have the error messages that were displayed on the console written down somewhere (I'll look for them when I get home). I think it was a device timeout or something. I'd like to try out the new driver to see if these improvements solve my problem. Will the -current driver drop nicely into 2.0.5R, or will I need to re-install the whole system from scratch? brian
