 I ran a MAXTOR HD on my IN2000 that coexisted nicely with a 80MB RLL
Micropolis for over a year.

 In early december I removed the RLL controller and drive and replaced the
drive with a HP SCSI and received nothing but grief for about a month.  Its
been working fine for about a week now and I am mystified as to the cause of
the problem (I posted a separate query on this strange behavior, I hope someone
replies).

Since the IN2000 has been working so well for over a year, I would recommend
the IN2000/MAXTOR combination.  I have some reservations about the IN2000/HP
combinations however.
