Re: B&W onboard ATA controller question

[Tom Wilkinson]

Are you saying, that adding an ATA card to a Rev 1 B&W will also fix the 
problems with the onboard controller? I have read that other than 
certain drives, you can't use much bigger than a 6-8 gig drive with a 
Rev 1 onboard controller without severe data corruption problems.
When I got my Rev 1 B&W, and put in a 30 gig drive, I had to get a new 
controller, as the hard drive was completely flakey using the onboard 
controller.

Aside
   

from not being able to add a slave drive to the onboard ATA port, what is
 

the maximum size drive that I can attach to this port?
   

120 GB as a practical max; 137 GB as an absolute max.
