Most, if not all A3000's (even A3000T's) and A2091 and similar scsi
controller cards are fitted with the WD33C93APL 00-04 scsi controller
chip.  While this chip is ok when you only have one device connected
to the scsi bus (usually the internal hard drive), anything less than
rev 00-08 can start to give you trouble when you start to add multiple
devices to the bus.  Most common symptoms are random scsi bus lockups
(especially with cd-roms and tape drives), and random checksum errors
when transferring large files between devices.  The 00-08 revision
address and fixes these problems along with reselection problems that
were present in earlier versions.  Once again, I am a source for
this upgrade.  Current asking price is $25 per chip which includes
all shipping to anyplace on the planet.  Cash, check (drawn on a U.S.
bank) or money order (converted to U.S. funds) are all fine with me.

I will notify buyers via e-mail when I receive their letter and mail
the chip.  If anyone has addition questions, I can be reached at the
