<chuckle> I was one of the first, if not the very first, to report
that problem to Connor.  I got the same treatment from them then that
I am getting from Micropolis now.  Fortunately, I was able to return
the Connor drive for a full refund and wound up getting the Micropolis
drive.  When others started reporting the Connor problem in various
newsgroups, I directed them to the Connor tech support manager that I
"dealt" with.  Connor eventually fixed their firmware.  I don't have
the option of returning the Micropolis drive this time so I'm taking a
more active approach. :-)
