We have a Maxtor XT8000X that we are trying to connect to a Sun 3/50.  The
drive has a number of jumpers that have been changed from the factory
settings.  There has been some mention on problems with getting this drive
to work with a Sun (Sunspots?).  Even if we get the drive jumpered
correctly we will have the problems of getting it formatted and gettin
Unix to recognize it.

Has anyone had any luck getting this drive to work with a Sun?  Any
suggestions would be appreciated.  Please reply via mail an I don't
regularly read these groups.

Thanks in Advance.
