A friend is wanting to install a Maxtor Tahiti on the
Adaptek 4070...will this work?
Is anyone else using this combo? Please email replies
as Maxtor is not very helpful.

Please email replies >as Maxtor is not very helpful. I'm not overly surprised at Maxtor's attitude. The Tahiti is ALREADY a SCSI device, as I recall, so hooking it up to an ST506-to-SCSI adapter is pointless. Tell your friend to simply hook up the drive where the Adaptek controller is currently plugged in and go. Presumably s/he has a system capable of talking to SCSI, so the only issue would be partitioning the drive as suits them.
