- I have a maxtor 696 drive, mod XT-8760S, series code 2, SN 0I06161537.
- (advertised capacity is 760 MB).
- This was purchased from Sun a while back. It has never really worked
- correctly. When the sun FE was called in he could get it working long
- enough so that he could get back out of the building and on the road,
- at which point the drive would fail again. As things stand now you can not
- put this drive on a scsi bus and do a probe-scsi command-- it hangs the
- scsi bus.
-
- Anyone have any experience with this drive. Any thoughts on possible
- misjumpering or whatever are welcome. We have two of these, both fail the
- same way. I have tried using a different shoebox, cable, etc. with no
- improvement.
-
- thanks in advance
