- There is a ROM upgrade you can get for GVP SCSI cards called "Guru ROM" that
- many times will fix this program with the Quantum 1.08GB Fireball drives. I
- say many times because I have see one case were it didn't fix the problem
- that you describe, but in most cases it works.
-
- Quantum 1.0GB Fireball drives seem to only have these problems with the GVP
- SCSI controllers. The drives work okay on an A2091, A3000, A4091, A4000T,
- Oktagon, Warp Engine and just about anything else.
