I got a good reply yesterday that explained this. ATA66 drives need different cables from ATA33 to work on ATA66 ATA100 drives need yet different cables from ATA33 and ATA66 ATA100 drives will work with ATA66 cables, but will downgrade to ATA66 speeds. Don't really know about ATA33 cables, but I think they have a different number of pins. francisco Moderator of the Corporate BSD list http://www.egroups.com/group/BSD_Corporate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
