You can contact Storage Dimensions (a Maxtor subsidiary) in San Jose, Calif. for a list of their distributors. They package the drive in an external enclosure with fan and power supply. These drives (all the M-O drives, that is) suffer badly if the ambient temperature at the drive goes over 40 deg. C, so putting them inside a PI or a 4D tower is a recipe for a dead drive. Most of the 4D machines run ~45 deg C in the drive areas, sometimes even warmer. -- Dave Olson Life would be so much easier if we could just look at the source code.
