- Lemme guess. Is your new drive, by any chance, one of the older Maxtor
- units, like an LXT200S or something? There's some trouble with the ROMs
- on those drives that won't allow the machine to cold boot, hanging the
- SCSI bus with the symptoms you described. I'm told there's no fix.

- You can warm boot the system just fine once it's locked, right?
