I don't suppose you have a PCI SATA controller you could try out? I used a cheap Silicon Image 3114 (SiI3114) 32-bit PCI SATA controller while the HT1000 SATA problems were being worked out. A "pciconf -lv" from that system would be helpful if you can manage to get it. -- TerraNovaNet Internet Services - Key Largo, FL Voice: (305)453-4011 x101 Fax: (305)451-5991 http://www.terranova.net/ ---------------------------------------------- Life's not fair, but the root password helps.
