I just know, how to find out the UDMA level: They are for both devices at that ATA channel: UDMA100 ad0: 38166MB [77545/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA100 ad1: 152627MB [310101/16/63] at ata0-slave UDMA100 R5.3 behaves not worse, when I drop ad0 to UDMA66 with atacontrol. -Arne __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
