I currently am running a 4096 in my 386 running ESIX (Unix 5.3.2) with no problems. This drive has been running almost constantly (except when I am on vacation or there is a thunderstorm) for over a year and a half. The only problem that I have experienced was one time after being off for two weeks the disk did not spin up when the system was first powered on. After power cycling the system it came up immediately. Richard Jinkins jinkins@emx.utexas.edu
