Nope.
Pulled a third drive from another machine and no problem.
The other 2 were spinning up and thunking, spinning up and thunking. Not a good sign.

When you find a source
send me a link...I could always use a few 2 gig drives. I can get by with a 5 or 6 gig drive, partitioned with Partition Magic.

I see you have the same problem.
Some of the machines here are so old they would probably choke on any drive bigger than 4G.
Still looking.....

Update. Minor victory.
The things you find in the most unlikely places.
Found a loptop 6G HD that I had stuffed in a box. It was purchased many years ago as an upgrade of an old IBM laptop that I never did get around to.
Fortunately, I have an adapter that will allow me to use it in a regular desktop case. Formatting as I type this.....
