I have had no problems except with an old IBM drive, which I cannot boot
from. I have HDs from Conner, Quantum, Seagate, Fujitsu and Micropolis.
I've also heard that the Quantum Fireball will not boot on Atari, so
that's priobably true, I have had no problems with Trailblazer or various
drives from the Prodrive series. I have to say nono to Samsung though,
they've had _MAJOR_ problems with bad quality of the media.
