4459.0. "Maxtor XT-4380E" by CRISTA::LEIMBERGER (I have my marbles now I want yours) Mon Jan 28 1991 09:30

	I have acess to a Maxtor XT-4380E 338meg(formatted drive). 
It used the EDSI interface. I currently have a scsi(GVP) card installed
but have been looking into getting an GVP 030 card. Will this drive work
with the GVP 030 card.

I've never seen one but they probably exist. john
