Scott,

Not that it matters, since I seriously doubt *YOU* pull any strings at
adaptec, but in our efforts to open up hardware documentation and firmare
interfaces, we have help squash bugs (very real and nasty bugs) in the
firmware of more than one hardware device.

In other words, the vendor got $2500/hour debugging help for free...
