Beware of Quantum Fireballs -- bought two of the 40GBers and the jumpers
would NOT work properly -- according to the BIOS on several different
machines tried. Had to do the opposite of the diagrams for mastering, but
slaves would NOT work period on either one. One died after a couple of
months -- brand new! Moved the "survivor" to a less-important machine to do
test routine duties -- peeling potatoes and shelling peas!

Never again....
