I still have a drive I bought back when I started using winders 95. I have a couple of newer ones, too. Sure, I had a problem with a large one needing a 30 second predelay or the thing wouldn't get recognized by the machine. But that was a screwy BIOS, not the drive. The drive worked fine in a machine that the maker kept the BIOS up to date. I haven't had one fail. I guess if my 7-year-old one ever fails I could join the WD-haters club. But I like Maxtor, too. And I've had more trouble with those than WD. -- 2 days without a Human Rights Violation! _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
