I rewired the leds directly to the drives (SCSI) and they go blinky blink now.
(management likes lots of blinky lights...they love the switches :)
Reinstalling did not make any sense what-so-ever so I didn't.
I only wrote to this list because the manfacturer was upset that I wasn't
using windows NT and insisted that it worked with windows. I can only assume
that they were wrong and that there is a problem in general with those
intel motherboards detecting drive activity when there are both SCSI and
IDE units installed. (Intel L440GX+)
thanks all,
