Perhaps if you can = force it to a slower speed (ATA33 for example) it would work ... but I'm just guessing. --=20 Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to = "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
