I'm looking to move to the current -current once the Lite2 changes chill out a bit more (right now I'm running -current from late august -- my tape drive died and it took till now to replace the thing -- call me squeamish for not wanting to 'make world' without being able to do a backup first :) I think I recall having seen blurbs to the effect that to use the new tagged command queueing and/or bounce buffering code my Seagate Baraccudas need to have a fairly recent revision of the BIOS (certainly more recent than the at least 1-year-old BIOS mine have now). I was wondering if someone could give me the skinny on this as well as suggestions on any way to do such an upgrade that doesn't involve shipping my disks off to Seagate for an indeterminate period of time.
