sorry, this is a fascinating thread.  haven't seen this kind of excitement
since everyone jumped on some guy who wanted to do computer repair work
without insurance.

> I believe the interface is ultra SCSI-3 / ultra ATA.  Here's the specs:

it sounds to me like the claim is that the interface is both SCSI and ATA.

: selling it, would I?   hehe.  Now I have this other guy on usenet
: anonymously accusing me that the drive is not SCSI and that I'm a cheat!!

annonymous?  the post came from someone named adam steffenes (last name is
not spelled correclty) from UC Davis.  there was nothing annonymous about
the post.  furthermore, he wasn't calling you a cheat.  he was just telling
you that you might want to check the docs because the drive probably isn't
SCSI and ATA.  perhaps you could use the drive after all... i saw it as
being a friendly post.


i feel badly for the loss you're about to take, but have you checked the
return policy with the company you bought the drive from?  i've never heard
of a store that had no return policy.  places like frye's have absurdly
liberal return policies (makes up for frye's sh!tty prices....)

have you checked the possibility of returning the hardware?
