I'm interested in the sources of your statement about IBM drivers vs. non IBM drives. In my case, I have a WD 18.2 Gb 7200 rpm disk which has been reported to be identical to the IBM 18.2 Gb 7200 rpm disk on more than one occasion. And by the way, my system has been running quite stable before January 2000 with the same disk on the same controller and the same mainboard.
