I may be wrong, but my understanding was that the ATA/133 drives were in all aspects incompatible with the slower bus speeds. Thus I recon he needs the extra controller to access the drive at all..
Well, since I have on my test bench beside me,and about to reconfig a Oracle DB for a client running on Win2000 with 2 of these drives, let me atest at least , that they are back-compatible to 33/66MHz interfaces, since 66MHz is particularly the limit ,without patch on NT/win2K. The way I got them recognised in MS was; whilst in the default 66MHz ide, I then installed the drivers from the CD of the interface, ending up with about 4/5 IDE interfaces in Sys Manager. Then moved up the needed one to the top of the tree. Wish I ran IDE interfaces on my servers. Mainly SCSI here. Let's know more !! -- Kemdi IN_SuSE_d Since 5.2 123792 of counter.li.org ICQ:112290572
