XT2190s (RD54s) are so damn loud.   I have V6.something on both which I

I recently rescued 3 2000s from recycling, and couldn't stand how loud
the RD54s were, especially when all 3 were running. I did some research
and finally got them all running the Mueller patches to support SCSI
drives. Lots quieter now - I can have them all on and still be able to
listen to music.

Heh...don't knock those RD54s.   Several years ago, when I was still
starving in the "zero-work zone" (SW Florida) someone *gave* me about
twenty of those drives.   Selling all but three of them on eBay paid my
mortgage for almost a year!

Had I known then what they'd be worth today, I'd have stockpiled thousands.
