I will be purchasing Seagate's ST296N with ICD host, next week.
I am wondering if anybody has had problems with this set-up..
I ask, simply because i have read several articles containing
an effusion of frustration over compatibility problems between
MINIX-ST and various hard drive kits....

Also, i seem to recall reading that Minix MUST be somewhere in
the first 4 partitions of the hard drive... is this true?
I'd like to know this information before I format and load the
drive.

Thanks for the help.
