Drive firmware upgrades are usually ftp-able and are downloaded to the drive on the user's system. As for my sources, Gary Palmer mentioned some time ago that his 1060 would not work with tagged queueing and there is an entry in one of the Linux hardware FAQs about this drive. >Needless to say that it works OK under Win95. They probably have a quirk entry for it. Either that, or there is a new bug in the driver. The changes I made shouldn't have effected tagged queueing, so the bug should be reproducible with tagged queueing disabled. >I mention this fact because we need to put some warning about >firmware upgrade needed for this drive, or we'll have many users >complaints, this model is very popular at least in Russia. Sure, sure. >Could you please add device flags to turn tagged queuing on per-drive basis >instead on for whole controller? My second drive is new IBM disk which >works well with tagged queueing and I not want to turn it off for this drive >too. Don't you read your commit mail? I added this feature to the new SCSI branch code last weekend. >-- >Andrey A. Chernov ><ache@nagual.ru> >http://www.nagual.ru/~ache/ -- Justin T.
