lot of problem with Prolific and Aegree bridges: msg#00045

Subject: lot of problem with Prolific and Aegree bridges
Hi,
I start testing some firewire device and I am very confused because 
cannot found any working device :-(.

I have:

1) external 2.5" enclosure with disk and Prolific chipset
I must flash new firmware to get this work with 2.6.x and now with 
2.6.17 works

2) I buy Asus  DVD writer DWS-1608 it is developed with Prolific 
bridge but I can't bur any DVD (CD works) after writhing 30% of DVD 
drive hangs and I get lot of aborting sbp2 commands an bus reset but 
nothing helps. I upgrade firmware to 1.39 and after this I can't not 
even read  DVD or CD :-(. Downgrade little helps. I test 
cdrecodrd-ProDVD, dvdrecord, growisofs

3) I buy new external enclosure with Aegree chipset identified as
GENESYS LOGIC, INC. I install in this case LG dual layer burner and I 
  burn some DVD, but if I mount it and try read content a get lot of 
aborting commands. If I install  disk situation is the same lot of 
abort errors and write speed slow down.

My enclosure  with 2.5" disk and Asus DVD Ram I test on my Sun E250 
too and still the same problems.


Have anybody the same experience ? I use vanila kernel 2.6.16-18.

                        Dan
