my ad2: 2014MB <QUANTUM BIGFOOT_CY2160A> [4092/16/63] at ata1-master PIO4 Is one of those wierd drives that claims to support DMA, but doesn't. I still get occasional bus resets when doing lots of IO to the drive, if I don't keep it in PIO mode. -- Eric Hodel - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://segment7.net All messages signed with fingerprint: FEC2 57F1 D465 EB15 5D6E 7C11 332A 551C 796C 9F04
