Hi all, can anybody tell me what software I can use to enable/disable AM on Maxtor drives?

And what is write caching? Thanks.

The IBM utility works on Seagate drives, I guess it works on Maxtors too.

LiamC · Nov 14, 2002

Thanks Tea. Is that the DFT utility or another one?

The IBM Feature Tool, Liam. You can grab the Windows verzion or the Linux verzion from theze linkz. I assume that if it works on Seagate it should work on Maxtor. Do Maxtor not have one of their own? Or have they, in Seagate style, decided that useers are too ztupid to be trusted with uzeful software?

Actually my name is William (bill). LiamC was my old DJ nick... Was posting over at Ace's and JC's with it and it just sort of stuck...

Funny thing that. I first met Bill when he rang up and wanted to buy some really serious computing power: an Athlon 550. So we did a deal and I nearly fell out of my chair when he gave me the delivery address: 131 Athlon Drive!

Funnily enough, the street up from mine is called

Annand Place...

Guess fate has it in for me
