	I remember seeing some utility on quantum's ftp site. But my
	firmware is is LXY4, and it seem to be the latest. There is
	something newer in TESTCODE area, but I hesitate to download test
	firmware onto my production server's drive. 

	BTW, now I have Atlas attaches to the same bus with Atlas-II --
	should I expect the same sort of troubles with it? Not, so far. Its 
	firmware is L912.
