Maybe this guy used an old ATA33 cable not knowing the difference or the discs are old ATA33?? I really would like to know the= =20 trick you use to see the color of a cable just by reading a mail! If you are writing to this list, you are supposed to have basic knowledge=20 about your machinery. I think Gorm has checked his cables. By the way, this topic and the same brand was up last week. My TX4 has=20 the same problem and trust me, if you work as sysadmin, you check your=20 cables before writing here. And to Brian, still no luck with my machine so I will rearrange a little=20 in my rack and use this machine as a Win2k machine for those people who= thinks ASP is the gift from god to humanity. No more Promise TX4 on BSD! // Bj=F6rn=20
