GREAT NEWS !!!

I thought my ide cable could have been 40-wire instead of 80-wire. IT
WAS!! NOW I GOT A 80-WIRE CABLE AND EVERYTHING WORKS GREAT WITH THE
STANDARD (NEW) MODULES !!!

I tried four different cables, the amazing thing is that they all were
40-wire, I can't believe it!!!

The bug is now solved for me, thanks to everybody!

p.s. the only way to discover if your ide cable is 40-wire or 80-wire is
that the 80-wire cable has got coloured pins (blue-mother board , gray-
slave and black-master)

More suggestions:

I suggest not to use cable select, but to set your hd to master (if it
is master) and connect it to the black pin of the cable, os slave and
connect it to the gray pin.

I suggest, moreover, to set manually the speed of the hard disk (in my
case ultra dma 6) and the PIO mode (4 to me). Who knows, maybe the bug
affects via chipsets when they work in auto mode...
