Something most people don't know: It may even prove realevant.
Many SCSI cards (IBM Clone domain) don't support newer Quantum drives. I
got an Empire 1080S and had to get a new SCSI BIOS just to support what DTC
said was "a problem addressing certain Quantum HDs." Someone may need to
contact Quantum to see how these drives are different from standard SCSI.
Hope it helps someone, somewhere.
