A few months ago there was a report of Maxtor 40GB drives locking up,
and I do not recall if/how the problem was solved.

We have two of the 5400 40.9GB Maxtors on an ABIT BE-6-II MB UDMA66
connector, and the problem is that when copying 50MB+ chunks of data
through the network, the machine locks up (the keyboard does not operate
and the drives are unavailable through the network).  This problem
happens on both master and slave drives.

I believe the Maxtors are the problem as when I had an IBM 37GB drive on
the same cable, I never had the lock-ups.

I'm running Win98SE with NO cylinder limit jumper.

If anyone else has had this problem, and knows the solution to the
lock-ups, I'd much appreciate the tip.

posted to uk.computer.vendors (where problem was reported) and
demon.tech.pc where the sages are.
