Good news but how ?and what with ? - Thanks in advance. >> Intech's Hard Disk SpeedTools always seems to work when Drive Setup doesn't. My UW-SCSI-to-UATA "Bridge" had a 60 GB Maxtor DiamondMax Plus and Drive Setup would initialize it ... when I installed a 120 GB Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 6 (a completely different drive family) in its place, Drive Setup wouldn't initialize it, but SpeedTools would. The UW-SCSI-to-UATA "Bridge" is architecturally limited to 137 GB. Although the product will accept UATA/133 drives, thorough "downward compatibility", the drive-to-bridge interface is limited to 33 MB/sec because of the drive-to-card cable design. ACARD now has an Ultra 160 version of this product, and it will support LVD and true UATA/133. It's about fifteen bucks more expensive than the older bridge. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
