Yes.

Here is the last few lines of output:

[microtek2] scsi_read_system_status: md=0x80b13e0, fd=-1
[microtek2] dump_area2: readsystemstatus
[readsystemstatus]
28008100000000000900
[microtek2] dump_area2: readsystemstatusresult
[readsystemstatusresult]
010000001100000000

Again, it hangs at the last line (I let it sit for over a minute)

Thanks!
