Interesting experience you have had there. I thought that sort of
peculiarity was restricted to IDE drives.
I installed a Maxtor 7345A in a friend's 486 machine in addition to the
Seagate 120M that was already present. I could not get the machine to
boot off the Maxtor and still recognize the Seagate. I gave up and set
everything up to use the Seagate as the boot drive and the Maxtor as the
second IDE drive in the system and everything works great.
Similarly, I have another friend who tried to put a Maxtor 7345A into
his 386 system along with a 120M Caviar drive and experienced the same
difficulty.
