During the BIOS size support transition period, in reference to HDs, Maxtor packaged a re-badged Promise UATA card with their HDs for free (or Free AMIR) to help keep people buying HDs. (Later they sold them.) How would you like to get a nice new HD and find out you could not use it unless you were forced into the less desirable DDO software translation smoke and mirrors crap. (Which BTW, you could try and see it you like it and the limitations and service problems it adds to a system.)

Am I missing something here. Can you explain the "Maxtor branded Promise..." business?
