I agree with you on one thing. CBM should have released the 'tested
and approved' list of IDE drives. I know of plenty of IDE drives
that work great with the A4000. Some high capacity drives include
the new high speed Toshiba drives, the IBM and HP small form factor
IDE drives. Some of these are way in excess of 120MB. If you
followed the usenet threads, the Maxtor drives may have problems
because they are way out of spec for spinning up to speed. Anyway,
the simple solution is to slow down your Amiga. Something I would
not be willing to do, most IBMers don't care or don't know. I also
use MAC and Windows software (I actually develop software for those
platforms) but use the Amiga to do it. Much easier to monitor all
of the pointers and globals of my MAC software by having it run as a
task on my true multitasking Amiga.
