But the drive does work -- I just can't get it to dump data to the cd-rom burner. The line from dmesg indicates the IDE controller only support ATA atapci0: <Intel PIIX3 ATA controller> Another person responded that there are some cheap Promise ATA66 Controllers I can plug in. Would that be a good solution? Funny thing is, the back of the drive fits a 40-pin cable just fine. I'm always using the 'older' stuff so I don't even know what the ATA66 cables look like. BTW: The new drive is a Maxtor 4D040H2 [79408/16/63] at ata0-master WDMA2 I guess I should look up the stats for the drive as well. -gf To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
