- I posted a question about installing dos, os2 and linux on combinations of
- maxtor 7213A (210MB) and seagate 1144A. I called tech support at both
- maxtor and seagate and here are the answer I got:
-
- maxtor: the two drives are incompatible and therefore should be used together.
- sometimes putting the maxtor as slave might work.
-
- seagate: the incompatibility is dued to the difference in timings in both drives
- (after I told the guy I was using the drive with a maxtor, he
- begin to sound pretty rude, just for your info.)
-
- So I decide to sell my seagate and get a maxtor 120MB drive.
