Ron,
Thanks for the info.. Sorry I neglected to mention earlier that the
drive is showing up in Drive setup either... I've tried switching out the
cable for a good one. And also tried one of there hd's I have laying around.
A IBM Deskstar DPTA-371020 10.2 gig with the same results...
BTW, it's a 2nd gen Gossamer board with a type 3 rom..
