I think there may be something wrong with the driver. It worked well with my IBM Drive, 615E 1.2 Gig, but it would not work with my HP 2 Gig Drives at all... 2.1.5 would not work with either one. I switched to a 2940 and all is well. Put the NCR controller in my Linux box, and everyone is happy. ( Same motherboard type in both machines. ) It was not worth messing around with. Save a few bucks on an NCR card, piss away several hundred dollars worth of time. Some bargain. Blaine Minazzi
