mylex dac960pu on alpha

hi,

i have a question to the dac960pu: can this controller under firmware
2.x work with LVD drives bigger than 9gig? i would like to know this
before i order drives. 

2nd thing: with 4.7R i still had this error:
/kernel: mlx0: I/O error - attempt to write beyond end of drive

the workaround from here:
http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/168/2001/5/50/5707924/
works well... and doesnt crash the machine.

im not sure if this is a alpha-only problem but it doesnt seem so:
-> http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/21220
critical, open since 4.1R ... i could provide a alpha hanging on
a serial console for testing if that would help...

greetings,
cjm
