: HELP!!!!!!

	Well, as I can testify... that's not good news. My
	HD was DOA. It was a M2624F rev 0304 and it was just going
	click click ... no stop.

	Nothing worked! Fujistu techie said that it was the drive
	was unable to read it's own specification area! Yikes!

	Now I have another one, a rev 0404 that arrive a week ago.
	This one requires absulutelly no jumper modifications, as
	it talks lingua franca SCSI either way. Nice improovment.

	Personally, I'm looking for the sense on a 1024 Byte
	formated one... anybody ?
