--=-/KNeE1kygQPfWaPpXAFY Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi I run pciconf -lv and it gave the following output in relation to the disk drive: atapci0epci2:2:0 class=0x010600 card=0x01661d28 chip=0x32008086 rev=0x00 hdr=0x0 When the matchine boots it says: Intel (R) 31244 Serial AA Dell inc DPA Mode BIOS V1.6.2.000 In relation to the guy's other machine which I couldn't get to work, the Dell Dimension 9200, Dell said go to Intel to ask more, Intel said it was a proprietary Dell BIOS and they couldn't help us. Hope you can help a bit - if only to tell us we're stuffed!
