No, there is one well known bad series of IDE disks of the DTLA-3070xx range which were not manufactured by IBM itself as usual, easily detectable.�Normally there is a "Manufactured by IBM Storage ..." on the label, on this series it reads "Manufactured for IBM Storage ...". > My is/was a DDYS-T36950.

Have not a single disk of this series, though. -- * Henning Brauer, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.bsws.de * * BS Web Services, Roedingsmarkt 14, 20459 Hamburg, Germany * Unix is very simple, but it takes a genius to understand the simplicity.
