All, I recently lunched a nice Mainboard/AMD T-Bird combo. Heatsink fell off. The harddrive was salvaged though.
I purchased a new mainoard/CPU combo. Both boards had the VIA chipset with the 686b southbridge. The lunched board ran the drive at UDMA100. The new one will only run it a 66. Here are the particulars: Original board/cpu: Shuttle AK12 MB with a 900 MHZ Athlon New: Epox EP-8KTA2L with a 900 MHZ Athlon Harddrive: Quantum Fileball P LM20.5. Maxtor claims thatthe drive is UDMA 100 compliant. 80 Pin cable on both. ide0=ATA66 set in boot string /proc/via shows 66MHZ OS: Openlinux 3.1 (Caldera) Ideas?
