I can only attest for Conner. Unfortunatly, the Maxtor 200Meg IDE drive will not always boot on my 33MHZ-386 system. 9 times out of 10 it will boot...this is really irritating. I now must decide between a 200Meg Conner or a 200Meg Seagate. :-( I've heard of other such problem with large-fast IDE drives in fast motherboards.
