[-- Attachment #1 --] I have gotten the Maxtor 80GB drive working, thanks to the suggestions of people on this list, especially Andrew Gordon. Thanks for the people who were so quick to help out. Turns out that the Maxtor 80GB drives want 80 conductor cables even when running in UDMA33 mode. Switching to an 80 conductor cable solved my problems. I still received a single write timeout during newfs, but the system recovered quickly. Andrew also suggested that I might switch to PIO mode using this sysctl: sysctl -w hw.atamodes=pio,pio,pio,pio The drive seems like it will perform the task I bought it for, which is mass storage of relatively unimportant data. I don't think I'll be moving my system and important user files over from my SCSI disk any time soon, however.
