While this chip is ok when you only have one device connected to the scsi bus (usually the internal hard drive), anything less than rev 00-08 can start to give you trouble when you start to add multiple devices to the bus. Most common symptoms are random scsi bus lockups (especially with cd-roms and tape drives), and random checksum errors when transferring large files between devices.
Hmmm... This information would explain why my A3000D started giving me increasing checksum errors when I added an external cdrom, zip drive and then a scanner. Which had eventually led me to toss the miggy into the closet and build a PC.
I'll dig into my systems and take inventory to see if I need to "fix" the problem. I do recall obtaining a WD-08, but don't recall which system I plugged it into.
Thanks for the info nishtek
