Eric, if there wasn't the number of disks to be processed (about 100,
6 of them are already done :-) _and_ the number of MBs in that particular
machine (8) I'd gladly use the Tcl/Tk tool (nice work, really) - but I
_need_ a quick way, even if it's dirty.

something like scsiinfo -RXe `scsiinfo -Xe |awk '{ ... }'`

but as I read from the Tcl/Tk sources, I cannot do that in one step,
right ? Perhaps I have to dig deeper ... Can AWRE/ARRE/EER&ct. be set/reset
for all SCSI-2 compliant drives ? the timeout value seemingly cannot...

There are 3 days left ... :-) I really have to have an idea ...
