A couple more drives that work with the Vulcan 40: MANUFACTURER UNFORMAT WTH. PL CYLS ST CYLS INTERFACE ACC XFER. POWER MODEL NUMBER FORMATED HGT. HD PREC AC HDS REC.METH T-T CACHE MTBF L.Z.

The Quantum has 5 heads, so apparently the Vulcan 40 can work with more than 4 heads, but chokes on 8. The Quantum is an IDE version of the 3.5" 1/2 height 40 meg SCSI drives that were commonly used in Mac SE's, SE/30's, etc. It has the fastest seek time of all the drives I've found to work. Once again, before you can use a drive that came from a PC, erase the partition info with WipeDrv.exe, a free demo from http://www.whitecanyon.com/cleandrivedemo.exe or similar. Then connect to your Vulcan and run the Vulcan Partition.Manager Utility. Say yes when it asks if you want to create a partition, and when it asks if you want to scan for bad blocks. Then select format, and format each partition. -Paul
