500Gb Maxtor USB disk on Solaris 9

Does anyone succesfully is able to get the drive to work on Solaris 9?
The OS recognizes the drive, however 'format -e' says "drive type unknown'
I then set CHS manually, but only 120Gb shows.
thanks.

Same problem.

I have a 500GB Seagate drive in a USB enclosure that linux and Macs can use, but on my Solaris 9 I have the same symptoms. What do we do?

Install the latest patch updates or try connecting to a system with latest Solaris Express build. This should resolve the issue. On Solaris 9, this is a known bug.
