I had ST39204LWs, that needed to be upgraded from firmware rev2 to firmware rev6, and have worked fine since. I also had some ST173404LWs that were at firmware rev2, and took those up to rev4 while I was at it. Seagate finally got the info to me after a couple of phone calls and some email, the only real hassle is their program to upgrade the firmware only runs under Windows (95/98/NT), but not under W2K. If I only hadn't wasted a week chasing nonexistent cable/controller problems. -- Hans K.
