William, Do remember that occasionally IBM sends PTFs that actually end up getting downloaded to the drives. This does not happen for 3rd party drives (or more correctly, when it does the results are as they say "unpredicable"). It is possible that some of the PTFs may be for the drives to work with your controller (as opposed to the controller working with your drives) in which case they will have no affect on the 3rd party drives. - Larry > I called for an IBM service call (at hi$), talked to the CE (or whatever > they're called now) on the phone, hopefully before I get a huge bill, and he > recommended a new ptf package - MF23265 (v4r4) or MF23266 (v4r5) - which > just came out and specifically addresses the new bigger 10K drives.
