Well the 7200i is the drive i tried. Unfortunetly as I understand it, it
can't write -xa1 mode atleast under Linux.

Well this is _not_ a compabilety issue. As far as i know Linux supports
this drive fully. But unfortunetly the drive doesn't support -xa1 mode.

I don't know if this is a IDE issue, or if this HP and Sony who are
cheep. Personlay I can't see any good reason why not to implement every
avilable standard in a drive. But then again I'm no expert.
