I have an A2091 HD controller fitted with Quantum 540 Lightning. The drive seems to hang somtimes, leaving the hard disk light on. I pressume tthat I should update the A2091 ROMs from 6.6 to version 7. Are there anyother chips that should be updated at the same time. (I use WB3.1) Thanks for any help David Kay Flying in from Montreal.

David, first make sure the termination of the drive is set if, and only if, it is the sole drive or the last drive in a chain (T jumper… hm… or has the 540 still resistor packs?). Second you might try to disable parity checking on the drive (EP jumper open). The 6.6 ROMs should work just fine, but best thing is of course to have the most recent version of the driver installed. – wkc – … via AP from Hamburg, Germany
