Maybe I should > submit a follow-up to the PR to mention this work-around. You mentioned it to me, in your original follow up. But I took it to mean you'd purchased a working UltraWide controller & plugged it into a PCI slot. I've now plugged my drives into the UltraWide connector on the motherboard. This won't cause a slowdown for me, as they are only 20Mhz UltraWide drives anyway. I'm running the test again. I'll let you know how it comes out. Thanks!
