I am guessing that this was one of the original Maxtor 160s that came out over a year ago--but I'm not sure. --- end of quote --- I bought one of those today too and it's the second time I got a free adaptor card. Useless in a Mac. Ain't that a stitch?
I use an Acard 133 in my Beige MT and it is fast and great. It's worth spending the money rather than using the ancient and slow native bus.
