First, some 3000s have terminating resistors on the motherboard (three
total). That may explain why the Quantum didn't need termination (though in
that case, the motherboard resistors should be removed and the Quantum be
terminated).
Second, the Quantum may be initializing AFTER the Maxtor and may not be seen
by the bus. You could try reversing the ID order (Quantum at 6, Maxtor at
0) or try enabling the 2 second timeout using something like BattMem. I
have to do it with a Quantum 210 and a 340. The 340 boots up faster. I
could put the WB on this drive and all would be OK as by the time the boot
is finished, the 210 is seen and the partitions are available.
Actually, that's three options to try. :) You can try popping WB on the
Maxtor after making the Quantum unbootable.
Good luck,
