Seagate says the drive *is* smart capable, but that the smart function
may be disabled by the bios.  There is no setting provision for smart
in my award bios, mb=k8n neo4 series socket 939 nForce 4 Ultra
(ms-7125).  bios was up-to-date as of August 1, 2007.

Seagate info from online, bios/mb from provided MSI manual.

will file bug...
