--==========1372899094========== Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline I have gotten the Maxtor 80GB drive working, thanks to the suggestions of = people on this list, especially Andrew Gordon. Thanks for the people who = were so quick to help out. Turns out that the Maxtor 80GB drives want 80 conductor cables even when = running in UDMA33 mode. Switching to an 80 conductor cable solved my = problems. I still received a single write timeout during newfs, but the = system recovered quickly. Andrew also suggested that I might switch to PIO = mode using this sysctl: sysctl -w hw.atamodes=3Dpio,pio,pio,pio The drive seems like it will perform the task I bought it for, which is = mass storage of relatively unimportant data. I don't think I'll be moving = my system and important user files over from my SCSI disk any time soon, = however.
