	The Supra software has formatting options for the Maxtor XT-3280S
drive. I have been using one on my system for a couple of years now. You
might want to look for pricing on the newer XT-4380S instead though. The
4000 series are 16ms and *much* quieter. (Plus, the 4380 formats to 319M
as opposed to the 244M you get on the 3280.)
