The Maxtors I had used Master/slave, now they may have auto-select, but other than that they've always been IDE....wasn't there a website out there for model /setup info, along with some software that Maxtor packed in their boxes.....How about Maxtor.com?? You know I just thought about this....your e-mail has probably gone off-shore to be answered, and you're just too damn intelligent to be writing them......either find a 6 year old to write it, or stoop to making it pervy....."Me soooo horny...I have Maxtor I want you to play with....." ;-) ☺ Damon Brunger Telrad Electronics Ft.
