Old disk drive firmware for Maxtor ATLAS10K5_300SAS?

[Joe Malicki]

If anyone cares, I found a solution to this:

Although they're not advertised as such, the older DOS ISO
disk firmware images all have both the old and new firmware -
old firmware is in fw/a00.dsk, new firmware in fw/a01.dsk -
it'd been under my nose all this time and I hadn't noticed.

Unfortunately, it seems that Dell is no longer doing this with
newer updates (it would be appreciated if the .LOD was slipped
into the downloadable update in a caveat utilitor sort of way)
