I had similar problems with my WD8013*-clone from Opticom: everything
worked fine with IDE and SCSI-DAT, but SCSI-disks are damaged by
wrong blocks etc. Changing to a original 8013EPC solved it, so I charged
the clone, but reading this, I'm now in doubt, maybee it's the 'ed'-driver.
Has sombody else similar problems?
