Well, I never actually got to patching my hotplug system because, hey, my drive did work for me with this patch :-). but it appears that suse (my installation) has done it for me. I did an suse-online-update of my system a couple of days ago and my hdd seems to work now without this patch, so as for me I don't mind removing it. But, just for curiosity and so that I understand this correctly: Are we having two different devices using the same bridge chip here, one of which fails on some inquiry commands and the other does not work without them? cool... :-( cheers, tesche ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
