Am I mistaken, or did I read (in one of the many posts on this subject) that Adaptec supplied drive replacements for dead drives that were larger than the originals, and had some "code" or program on them to make them work? I'm just wondering if it's something like DIsk Manager for older machines, that put code in the rootblocks of the drive that bypasses the BIOSes preset drive types.
