[rescue] fixing EMC firmware on ST19171WC

[Robert Novak]

Hi all,

Finally got all the adapters (the ones Dr Obnox was looking for this
morning) to use my nifty $50 ST19171WC disks on my Netapp, and found out
that they're actually SX19171WC, same drive with EMC firmware.

Anyone know offhand if it's possible to "upgrade" to a S_T_19171W/WC
firmware so it's recognized and not shunned by the Netapp? If so, where do
I look for firmware and software that's suitable? I found some at Compaq's
web site, but I'm not sure if that's a safe swap. I didn't find anything
useful on Seagate's website.

Thanks,

--Rob
