ATA66 cables have 80 conductors and are required for anything over 33 MB/s out of an IDE drive. Odds are, you probably either have a 40 conductor cable (standard IDE) or the cable is too long or going bad. This could also be because your controller is only capable of ATA33 while the drive reports being capable of ATA66. --- Andy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
