I never analyzed the scsi driver output very thoroughly. However I am
pretty sure of this. Regardless in what slot and order the drives were
connected, I was always able to boot to the older (good, firmware 5)
drive (from the drive itself or from floppy disk). The errors appeared
as soon as I wanted to access the newer (bad, firmware 7) drive.

According to the vendor, yes.
