read this first. T4x are particular about their drives due
to the active protection system they implement. This shuts
down the drive when a change in velocity is detected to
attempt to prevent physical damage. Doesn't always work,
though, as you found out.

Interesting, thanks! I did find that site but not that page. It specifically mentions a number of models, but the T42 is not listed (T43 is).

Anyone else have a clue if a T42 will work right with a non-IBM drive?

Thanks,
JP

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
