Sometime back I posted a note asking for information on third-party SCSI for use with Intergraph hardware. Not having gotten any useful information from our sales rep. or my posting, we did the the next best thing - we took apart a drive we had and found out what was inside it. The Intergraph 760 MB drive actually turned out to be, ta-da, a Maxtor XT8760S in disguise (surprise, surprise). We then bought another XT8760S and have successfully installed it on our Intergraph, being careful to match the partitioning on the new drive to the partitioning on the old. We are not sure that this was necessary (the old drive contained a flaw map partition, and a diagnositics partition, as well as the partition for user data), but rather than take the time to find out, we assumed that Intergraph had a reason for it. The upshot of this all is that we now have our disk drive for about $4000 less than what it would have cost from Intergraph. Anyone needing more details may contact me by e-mail. -- Timothy VanFosson E-mail : timv@ccad.uiowa.edu Senior Systems Analyst US Mail : CAD-Research University of Iowa 228 ERF Phone : (319) 335-5728 Iowa City, Iowa 52242
