I received few responses on this one, so I went ahead and placed a call to
StorageWorx support who said that the Y2K version of the HSZ50 firmware is
versions 5.1 and above. According to Stephen Mullin, the most current
version of the firmware is 5.3, but the StorageWorx people told me that it's
5.2. The StorageWorx folks also said that the major difference between 5.1
and 5.2 is that 5.2 allows you to use the Ultra SCSI 9.1 and 18.2 gig disk
drives.
Thanks to those who responded!
