amusing info – thanks. my trumpcard pro (latest board rev) eats drives for
lunch! haven't found one which won't work perfect on it yet. thanks again.
I'm going to refund my customer's money and use the drive myself. It's a
terrific buy anyway at my price and I can use a 200 meg drive anyway. Live
and learn – however I will no longer guarantee any particular HD will work
on a 3000, customer's risk from now on. Don't like to do that, but can't
afford to eat drives – I know what works on a 500/1000/2000 setup, but find
unfortunately the 3000 is not predictable. This little Rodime is an
absolute gem on my TCPro – REAL fast and reliable. C'est la vie. I've
heard of other problems with maxtor and syquest, too. Too bad the SCSI
port on the 3000 ain't as universal as the one on a TCPro. Maybe Quantums
will always work – but they're much more expensive and no better than the
others. I personally think Imprimis drives are the Rolls Royces of HD's.
