I'm not overly surprised at Maxtor's attitude.  The Tahiti is ALREADY a
SCSI device, as I recall, so hooking it up to an ST506-to-SCSI adapter
is pointless.  Tell your friend to simply hook up the drive where the
Adaptek controller is currently plugged in and go.  Presumably s/he has
a system capable of talking to SCSI, so the only issue would be partitioning
the drive as suits them.
