Both of which will work on the XT. The "advertising" people call it an AT drive because the "MLC1" drives (should say MLCx on the serial number) are considered "fast access" and therefor up to AT standards. Your friend should have no problem using his/her ST251 drive. "Ohhhhh... Lookie at the pretty disks... And so many finger prints too..." Nanook of the South uunet!sundc!sun!cup.portal.com!nanook
