Are there plans to try to support this broken hardware ?

Maxtor seem to be violating ATAPI standards in that FreeBSD and Linux
cannot use many Maxtor drives at rated speed, however.....

Maxtor has some extremely fast drives that `work' in WinTel machines
faster than all other competitors using ATA66 (as of a month or so ago)
so it appears they are cutting corners on the standard (cheating) in
order to produce a very fast product.

Are there plans to accomodate their behavior ?

Do you have any contacts in Maxtor to help in this task ?
