I've got the 950112 Snapshot running on a Maxtor 850meg IDE drive now. The BIOS has been told that it is an 814mb drive and seems to work fine (except disklabel reports some incorrent info....) Right now, Maxtor has no drivers to support the full 850mb except under DOS. I tried installing a newer snapshot (950412) but it would hang on reboot after the install -- I have a sneaky suspicion it's because of the drive, but I'm not sure... > (Please discard the "IDE is crap" arguments for now. :)) (Well, they _are_ but they're also dirt cheap....:-) =============================================================================== caesar@io.org \ The end is where we start from. | Mark Luukkonen \ - T.S.
