                     On October 24, 1995, Hyundai Electronics America ("HEA"),
                     a subsidiary of Hyundai, delivered to the Company a letter 
                     (the "Letter") from Y.H. Kim, President and Chief 
                     Executive Officer of HEA, addressed to the Special 
                     Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the 
                     "Special Committee"), expressing HEA's desire to enter 
                     into negotiations with the Special Committee regarding an 
                     acquisition by Hyundai (directly or through one or more
                     subsidiaries) of all of the outstanding shares of the
                     Company's Common Stock (other than the shares of Class A
                     Common Stock owned by the Purchasers) at a price per 
                     share of $5.15. HEA's proposal is subject to several 
                     significant conditions, including the negotiation and 
                     execution of a mutually satisfactory merger agreement, the
                     approval of the Maxtor disinterested directors under the
                     "standstill" provisions of the Stock Purchase Agreement,
                     the obtaining of the requisite Korean governmental 
                     approvals, and the expiration or termination of the 
                     applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino 
                     Antitrust Improvements Act and the Exon-Florio Act, and 
                     there can be no assurance that these conditions will be 
                     satisfied.

                     A copy of the Letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 9 and is
                     incorporated herein by reference.

The Special Committee of the Board of Directors of Maxtor Corporation
211 River Oaks Parkway
San Jose, California 95134

Gentlemen:

        We are writing to express our desire to enter into negotiations with 
you regarding an acquisition by Hyundai Electronics Industries Ltd. (Hyundai) 
of all of the outstanding common shares of Maxtor Corporation (Maxtor).

        We propose to offer to purchase such shares at a price of $5.15 per 
share. Hyundai believes that this price is fair and reasonable to Maxtor's 
shareholders in light of Maxtor's current financial condition, business 
operations and future  prospects.

        Hyundai's acquisition of Maxtor will permit Maxtor to directly access 
Hyundai's more abundant operational and financial resources, thereby enabling 
Maxtor to compete more effectively in the increasingly competitive disk drive 
industry. By helping to ensure Maxtor's ongoing competitiveness, Hyundai's 
acquisition of Maxtor would be in the best interest of Maxtor's employees, 
customers and suppliers, as well as Maxtor's shareholders.

        Our ability to proceed with the proposed acquisition is, of course, 
subject to several conditions, including the negotiation and execution of a 
mutually satisfactory merger agreement, the approval of the Maxtor 
disinterested directors under the "standstill" provisions of our Stock
Purchase Agreement, obtaining the necessary Korean governmental approvals and
the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the
Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act and the Exon-Florio Act.

        Please call me at your earliest convenience to discuss this matter 
further. All of us at Hyundai very much look forward to working with Maxtor to 
successfully complete an acquisition on the terms set forth above.

                                       Very truly yours,


                                       Y.H. Kim
                                       President & Chief Executive Officer
                                       Hyundai Electronics America
