Yes.
Only the first two of these are from a 9.2 era system (also the ones with the
most recent firmware).
We did have timeout issues while testing this platform which were resolved by
taking the mfi driver from -HEAD at the time and setting hw.mfi.msi=1. The
oldest ones have been running for over two years.
I can go through our Perforce depot to tell you exactly what mfi driver they’re
running, if you care.

Jan.
