I have a Maxtor 7213SR (213 meg) hard drive and a Microbotics Hardframe SCSI controller. I did not receive any docs with this drive and am having problems with the defaults that the Hardframe software (RDPrep) is giving me. The drive is working, but I am getting a lot of R/W errors. Does anyone have this same setup working properly? Could you tell me how you have RDPrep configured? Thanks! David Czaya …via AutoPilot

Some of the SR series drives have firmware bugs that make them "not quite SCSI". I had a 7080SR attached to a 2091 that gave constant R/W error. I later found out that there's a ROM revision that fixes these problems. I never got though…I swapped drives with my PC which had a Quantum.

This is not good news. Well, looks like I'm going to be getting a different drive. Thanks for the information.
