Normally that is all true *EXCEPT* there is a differential factor that I just mentioned to someone else on this list about Maxtor drives running on the same IDE channel as a non-Maxtor drive, regardless whether they match or not, will not "cooperate". > Maybe that is not what will happen.

Without doing a *lot* of testing I'd hazard a guess that is as good a generalization as you could find anywhere, and probably better than some... with the possible exception of Maxtor drives and most other non-Maxtor drives, as noted previously. Another combination I remember vaguely that ran into troubles in the early testing I've done was using a Seagate EIDE slow drive on the primary and a fast Seagate on the secondary, which only worked in 16 bit mode, something else I never understood. 8-) Dave - -- Dave Laird ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) The Used Kharma Lot / The Phoenix Project Web Page: http://www.kharma.net updated 01/20/2003 Usenet News server: news.kharma.net Musicians Calendar and Database access: http://www.kharma.net/calendar.html An automatic & random thought For the Minute: Yes, but every time I try to see things your way, I get a headache. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+Sc23aE1ENZP1A28RAnoaAJ9LjF/wn/BwT6wYP4homb8WmDp0yACdEX/8 LfqkOxWCM91fBinEvxD0Dp8= =zB4Z -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
