Re: QSPOCK for DFW, EDFW, Corvette, and Short SCSI/A

Tim, while you're back in the boring UK, how can we download the SCSI
code from the DFW and EDFW RS/60000 SCSI adapters?

SCSI BIOS code? Or adapter firmware code?

Download from IBM? Or save image from adapter E(E)PROM(s) to diskette or
whatever?

I dimly remember that
the flash application in the complex BIOS update diskette could save the
installed complex BIOS. Or is this a flashback to that case of bad Jolt?

I don't recall that facility being available for any adapter (RAID or SCSI)
or complex flash utilty. The Type-4 complexes have two E(E)PROM banks
allowing recovery from a bad Flash by jumpering to select the "other" bank,
if that's what you're thinking of?
