     Nope....

thanks all for the messages asking if the Guru strikes the maxtor
 on the prepping step...

That ain't the problem.... the damn thing gurus right on the
binddrivers.... can't even get close to formatting it

nearest thing i can get is from Maxtor is that their drive takes a long
time to return a Ready from the drive after the Reset is asserted
by the hardframe... and the Hard frame driver isn't used to
having to wait for the drive to respond to the reset... so it Gurus...

I have a description into Microbotics of the difficulty,
and i'm hoping to hear from Joanne Dow with a fix...
(Joanne are you out there????)

(I really want to get this thing working.... a set of 10 machines
worth of sales are kinda dependent on getting this damn thing working)

IE: come ON now.... Maxtors aren't exactly a trivial brand of drive!!!!
