- I ran a MAXTOR HD on my IN2000 that coexisted nicely with a 80MB RLL
- Micropolis for over a year.
-
- In early december I removed the RLL controller and drive and replaced the
- drive with a HP SCSI and received nothing but grief for about a month. Its
- been working fine for about a week now and I am mystified as to the cause of
- the problem (I posted a separate query on this strange behavior, I hope someone
- replies).
-
- Since the IN2000 has been working so well for over a year, I would recommend
- the IN2000/MAXTOR combination. I have some reservations about the IN2000/HP
- combinations however.
