Holy shit! A drive that doesn't "do" parity? Can you tell the 960 to ignore
parity? (dangerous as hell, but better than nothing, right?)

I'm not qualified to make that call :-)

Who knows what those nuts at Mylex are checking. I have an AccelRaid 150
that likes to lock up _alot_ -- it ain't the drives, the cable, the
termination, or the OS... there's a problem with the controller and they
have yet to even say "ok, it's a problem." (I sent it to them for repair.
They sent it back to be with a new RTC battery. Yeah, that fixed it.)
