Maxtor XT-4380E ESDI Hard Drive settings - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

28 Feb 1999

I've got the EXT-4000-series manual.  I never owned one of the 4380's,
though I tested a number.  Miniscribe built a model 9380 which was quite
similar, except that fewer than 10% of them would pass our tests.  However,
I used the 9380's for quite a while in my personal systems.

There was once a military (air force, I believe) site called TheRef, which
had much of this data, if you haven't the patience for me to look up the
information you need.  I recall there were quite a number of jumper
options.  If you can find me the desired configuration, I can give you the
relevant jumpers and their effects.

 OK, I'm stumped.  I'm finally getting around to adding one of the 380Mb
 ESDI HD's that I got to replace the 150Mb ones I've been using in my
 PDP-11/73.  So I check out "The Tech Page" and while they've got the
drive,
...
  they don't give any of the jumper settings.  Does
anyone happen to have the
...
  settings for this drive?
