Remember that the current crop of UATA/133 drives from Maxtor are really Quantums. The current crop of UATA/100 drives from Maxtor are actually Maxtors. I've had very good results with Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 60 and IBM 60GXP drives, both in 60 GB sizes. But 60 GB is the max for these series. Both work fine with either the EIDE bus of a Beige G3 or the UATA/66 bus of any of several UATA cards. [ * ] Late /266 machines are Rev. B or C and can handle Slave drives; early /266 machines are Rev. A and cannot handle Slaves. If a Beige machine of any speed came factory stock with an EIDE Zip, then it is Rev. B or C. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
