  you mean 3.37?

  last fw that worked on multi-ple drives was 3.36
  seems Buslogic doesn't seem to care
  but, look out, fw 3.36 has problem access ram >16mb (using buslogic driver)
  so tell sco you are running a 1540 and it should be ok.


  ps, we sell a 32 bit EISA card that runs 1540 software.  Needed to when 
1740 stopped production
 call dave in sales here for pricing (yes we export, take mc/visa and wire)
