Tod,

  To my knowledge, the buy-out group hasn't selected a Maxtor drive since
the RD54s for the workstation space. I believe that it's Micropolis, but
that's just my best recollection. Of course, it does have our firmware on
it, but I'll bet that if you ask the Micropolis Tech support folks, they'll
have a version of firmware for Sun as well.

I hope that helps. Feel free to buy more RZ57s for your SPARCstations ;-)

				Thanx,
				  AJ
