The ATA is recognized in what is identified as a SCSI bus.You did nothing wrong. That is how ATA cards work on the Mac, they fool the system into seeing attached drives as scsi. There are some very technical reasons why they have to do this trick, but don't worry. Just hook up your drive, format it with drive setup (if you are in 9) or Disk Utility in X and be prepared to be blown away at the speed boost. I went from transfer rates around 5 meg/sec with the 6 gig on my beige to around 40 meg/sec with a Siig ATA 133 card and an IBM 80g drive.
I assume it's problem and did not proceed. Does anyone know what I have
done wrong?
Enjoy the speed boost
