- Is this a Maxtor 2585AT you're using? I'm going to be installing two of these
- particular drives for customers in 1200's either Tuesday or Wednesday of this
- week. I sure hope they work ok! Has anyone verified whether they have the
- 64K maxtransfer bug many 2.5" drives have? I thought I read that they didn't.
