Conner provided me with a firmware upgrade disk. The new firware could by applied to the drive at any PC that has MS-DOS and ASPI drivers.
I don't know Conner's tech support address in the US, but in Europe you can contact:
Fax for Tech Support: +44-1294-315262 Mailbox: +44-1294-315265 FaxBack: +44-1294-315205
SnailMail:
Conner Peripherals (UK) Ltd. European Technical Support 1 Cockburn Place Riverside Business Park Oldhall West Irvine KA11 5DA Scotland, UK
When you write a letter to them you have to give them a fax number, since they don't answer by letter, just by fax or by phone.
