<Winces> Ummm Tell me that your drive is NOT an ST384xy series.
586 code is showing up deficiencies and shortcuts in drive timing especially
for UDMA/UDMA2 drives. If your drive is Seagate or WD, chances are strong it
is a hardware problem which will keep you from using that drive on the primary
channel--actually it is a signal reflection which becomes active under the more
precise timing constraints of the 586 code.
