[running 2.2.2-RELEASE], My IBM DCAS-34330 runs nice & cool, but first one got unrecoverable sector errs after transporting the system 20 kilometres in my car & then thrashing it (pc not car :-) for a while, installing my site master data there. So I bought another DCAS-34330, backed up, & reformatted the first. both run cool & quiet (well, quiet I suppose is a matter of opinion), I'd appreciate a URL for the disc, as I'm puzzled by the TI nego. pin. BTW I paid German DM 720 6 weeks ago & DM 680 last week (retail shop price). Julian -- Julian H. Stacey jhs@freebsd.org http://www.freebsd.org/~jhs/
