Well, I can speak from experience that the DEC, Quantum, and SGI versions are different. Whether they are actually different, or that each vendor has chosen different loads from the same code base is a good question. There have been many different loads of firmware since Digital first introduced them, and Quantum took over. Of course, if one has access to them, one may load SGI firware on a Quantum drive, etc. -Ken Stox "If you work with Petabytes, does that make you a Petaphile ?" stox@enteract.com
