Many, if not all, hard drives bundled with the S900 were not compatible with
apple drive setup.
Which is yet another reason FWB was part of the Umax CD.
I still have the 4.6 gb 7200 RPM Western Digital drive. which is a
replacement-under-warranty unit after it crapped out on me in 1999 after 6
months.
My guess is Umax was able to be competitive by not having to pay additional
royalty to Apple for the CD and HD drivers ?
