The version of DM I have has what is called a manual or standard mode or
something like that. I believe in this mode you can enter the cyl/head
information rather than use the configurations that are built in.

Does this mean that any version of DM would work with any drive? The
Seagate version would be less convenient with a Maxtor disk but will it
still work. Reason I ask is that i might be getting a Maxtor 140 meg
disk and I already have a st251 with Seagate version of DM.

Will itthe Seagate version of DM work with a Maxtor disk? Can use DM to
partition two physical disks (st251 and the Maxtor)?

thanks for your help.,
