This is making interesting reading. Do you think the Maxtor problem is specific to later, faster drives? I've run a Maxtor and Fujitsu in tandem for longer than I care to think about, without problems. Mandrake configures them correctly, too, but they are both 20GB disks, so not the latest and fastest. Also, is it your experience that these problems occur only between pairs of HDDs, or do they equally occur when the slave is a cd/dvd/cd-rw? Anne -- Registered Linux User No.293302
