I pulled (4) 9G HD's off a Sun Ultrasparc last week which were said to be acting poorly. Worked so-so on the Sun. Blew up big time on an SGI O2.

The installer didn't even bother to read Seagate's little book that came with the drives. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
