Myself and one other customer in this area have MV3100's; we both started out
with 2263S's as external SCSI drives.  We discovered a cacheing bug in the
drive's ROM which corrupted disk data (exact circumstances unknown).  We were
running Ultrix 3.x, the other guy was running VMS, presumable 5.x.  Fuji claims
to have a fix in a ROM upgrade.  However, I gave back the drives and went for
RZ56s, so I can't say whether this really fixed the problem.
