Lynn, You're not wrong. I just got off the phone with one of the tech support guys at SST. He sent me the schematic for the ADM device. They placed a resister R-8 on the ADM that can be shunted to ground to enable WP. He said this will work with standard IDE/motherboard configurations. Anyone that wants the ADM schematic send me email off-list, and I'll send it to you. He had no explanation for why they chose not to include a two pin WP jumper on board the ADM. -- Mike Noyes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://sourceforge.net/users/mhnoyes/ http://leaf.sourceforge.net/content.php?menu=1000&page_id=4 _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
