Are there plans to try to support this broken hardware ? Maxtor seem to be violating ATAPI standards in that FreeBSD and Linux cannot use many Maxtor drives at rated speed, however..... Maxtor has some extremely fast drives that `work' in WinTel machines faster than all other competitors using ATA66 (as of a month or so ago) so it appears they are cutting corners on the standard (cheating) in order to produce a very fast product. Are there plans to accomodate their behavior ? Do you have any contacts in Maxtor to help in this task ? > > -Søren > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message -- Matthew Thyer (who doesn't send useless test mail to mailing lists) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
