Hello Dean
Yes, it does need to be a ATA-5 drive. I've tried a several newer ATA6
drives, and they show up, are installable, but not bootable.
I would do a Pricegrabber search for ATA-5 drives

Okay,
We've established that all HD's are dodgy in terms of quality. Now
back to the tech end of things. I read in LEM that the HD for a
Lombard must be ATA-5. Does that preclude the use of an ATA-6 drive or
is that protocol backwards compatible. I'd prefer to hear from folks
that have replaced drives rather than speculative musings.
Thanks!
Dean
