Question to all the drive folks.......
There seems to be a fuzzy area about use of the 48-bit addressing supported bit in
the IDENTIFY DATA (bit 10 of WORD 83). I guess some are setting this bit regardless
of the drive capacity and some are only setting it if the capacity is over 137GB. I
am hearing "rumors" that this might be creating some driver issues because of the SET
MAX and SET MAX EXT commands.
Just wondering how you drive folks are setting this?
