Medalist XE Family Product Manual, Rev. B
3.6 Supported BIOS
The drive uses 16 bytes of ECC with Read Long and Write Long
commands. If the computer BIOS expects less than 16 bytes, some drive
diagnostics may return false failures (typically time-out errors). If so, you
must reconfigure the computer to receive 4 bytes of ECC.
The BIOS revisions listed in the following table are fully compatible with
the ATA interface implemented on the ST3295A and ST3660A drives.
Earlier BIOS revisions than those listed may not fully support the ATA
interface as implemented on these drives.
