Well, since at least one of your drives is ATA-66, you should download the
install floppy from ftp.stormix.com (when it gets back up) that includes
ATA-66 drivers. I think the floppy image has IDE in the title, but I might
be wrong here.
Currently, Stormix's ftp site is down. They are waiting on parts for it.
Hopefully it won't be too much longer.
Anyway, this is a guess as to why it's not working. I might be totally
wrong.
HTH.
