Actually, with ALL of Sonnet's ATA cards from the ATA/66 up, the first time you hook an IDE drive to it, you have to FORMAT it...the card will know it is there but it usually wont mount an exsisting IDE unless the drive was formatted on the Sonnet card in the first place...a word of warning... -Josh -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
