But why would that mess up the card? Especially when the machine had been
used as an mt router before?
And why would it then also be unable to work with any other drives
installed?

The machine might not be able to identify the card right, and screws it up
upon access it.

Hi All,
OK, this is really strange.
Picked up a new MT ide drive card and 4 port nic card to use as a backup
router.
Put the unit in the pc and it stops at loading E.
OK, bad unit.
Took it back to Spokane and Bob K. put that unit into a machine he'd been
working on. Even worse problem for him. Hmmmmm.
So in goes another chip to make sure that it's not a puter problem. THAT
one now won't work either. It had been one he'd already been using.
Use a new machine, load up a new ide chip for me. I saw him do it.
Take that one home, put it in the pc, same thing! Loading E.
Put it into another machine, won't work there either.
Hook up a hard drive to the port, that won't boot.
4 machines and 4 hard drives later i still don't have a config that works!
Put that ide chip in any pc and it kills the ide port.
What the $%&# over????? Anyone seen anything like this before?
Bob tells me that nothing he puts in the machine that worked before I got
there will work now either.
Could that first machine of mine had some kind of bios virus that has now
spread to all other boxes?
The machine was my old mail server, a working pull used up till a few
months
ago.
The next machine was my old mt router, a working pull sitting on the shelf
for over a year (it had flaked out so I replaced the whole thing and
tossed
the chip).
The next machine was my old web server (all three the same hardware bought
at the same time as i recall).
The last machine was an old windows server or something. Don't ever
remember for sure. It has two scsi drives in it, that's the only thing
that'll still boot. But only to the two scsi drives, nothing ide.
Ideas????
thanks,
marlon
