(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.
