[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] SpinRite II and IDE drives

In the past I've used SpinRite II with great success on a
variety of MFM drives. Now I have a Gateway 33 Mhz 386 with
a 200 Mb Maxtor IDE HDD. I'm assuming the drive was low
level formatted with the computer in the standard desktop
configuration. Since I want to stand the system on end (my
desk just isn't big enough!), I plan to do another low
level format in that position. Has anyone had any negative
experiences with SpinRite II on such drives?
