Many of the older drives for workstations have issues like this.
Workstation folks couldn't wait for the server folks to finish
testing and issues like this weren't found. That stopped being true
about 5 years ago when 1 and 2 GB (5400rpm) drives came on the market.

In general, drives smaller than 1GB are not reprogammable
and thus can't be upgraded. I don't know if C3325A is upgradeable.
If it is, the firmware for it *might* be on the same ftp site
as platform firmware - see the www.parisc-linux.org FAQ for the URL.
And not sure if there is a utility for linux to download
SCSI device firmware.
