I use one of these 3387 drives -- fast little sucker. Too bad it heats up so much it needs a fan blowing on it 24/7... I have a pr440fx motherboard coming soon. I didn't realize it has only the wide connector. We'll need to find a 68->50 adaptor that includes proper termination, I think. I'm not sure if simply enabling high byte termination on the controller would take care of this. Let me know about your results, as I will soon have the same setup. -- Brian Ristuccia brianr@osiris.ml.org bristucc@baynetworks.com bristucc@cs.uml.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe aic7xxx" in the body of the message
