This drive may need a firmware upgrade. Some Quantums
had firmware problems and improperly (open to debate)
issued queue_full conditions when their queue wasn't
full.
It's worse than that: Atlas II firmware LXY4 has a bug whereby it may sometimes
become catatonic shortly after a Queue Full occurs. I demonstrated this bug to
Quantum back in June, but no new firmware has yet been released.
I just checked Quantum's FTP site and it looks like there is a TESTCODE
directory with LYK8 firmware; perhaps that will fix these problems.
