SUN Patch 103451-04 for Seagate ST32550WC 2.1GB disks

[Peter Seuffert]

There is a SUN patch around (ID=103451-04, Apr/16/97) to upgrade the firmware within the 2.1GB Seagate ST32550WC disks we are using in our SUN SRPARCtorgae Arrays and within in lots of U1 and U2 machines.:
Problem Description: 
	
	Lost test unit ready command.
	
	Made code to change to not clear out the interrupt bit for a new command a
	second time during a sequential read transfer. This will prevent a command that
	is sent in inbetween a read command and its data transfer from getting lost.
	

Did anybody out there install the patch ?
Is it advisable? Needed? 
No Early Notifier from SUN yet.
