Well, I don�t know what�s wrong with your ATA stuff. I bought a Acard ATA 66 card (same as the Sonnet Tempo 66) 2 years ago, and it was a really good idea. I use a Maxtor drive, which was known for good Mac compatibility when I bought it, and a LiteOn burner. Never had any problems with this setup. Maybe your problem is the hard drive, don�t know about WD, but I know that a Mac user should not buy Fujitsu drives. Do you use the latest firmware for the card? BTW, I have two broken SCSI drives, one original Apple (Quantum), one IBM.
