Fixes & Enhancements
RELEASE NOTES FOR CERC ATA100/4ch FIRMWARE
==========================================
Current Firmware - 6.67
(Previous - 6.66)
Current BIOS - 1.04
(Previous - 1.04)
Current Ctrl-M - 5a42
(Previous - 5a42)
Current Boot Block - 1.4.3
(Previous - 1.4.3)
Current Web BIOS - 1.43
(Previous - 1.43)
Firmware Enhancements and Bug Fixes (from v.6.66):
When a drive on secondary channel is removed, the other drive on primary channel is sometimes not responding, so firmware gets time-out. FW retries for 3 times if a command is timed-out before failing the drive.
Whenever FW retries, a variable called "retry count" is updated to hold the information of how many retries have been carried out. This variable was not cleared properly for a fresh command. It held the "old" value. This was causing FW not to retry the timed-out command for the drive on primary channel and fail the drive following the very first time-out error.
The variable retry count is properly cleared now and the problem is fixed.
