- Strange, I have a 1230IV and a Quantum Lightning 730 Meg, and they cooperate
- very well. Since the Lightning and Maverick were released at the same time,
- I'd presume there are only very small differences between them like
- different number of platters etc. Perhaps your friend has a maxtransfer or
- cable problem?
