Well, I tried to connect the drive to another cable with success. |
| 63 |
However, with this cable, which seemed to be an older one, the drive was |
| 64 |
restricted to UDMA(33). |
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
My theory about these messages now is the following: |
| 67 |
The HD I'm talking about is not directly connected to the ide-cable, but |
| 68 |
via a rather old 'HD-Box'. Thus I have: |
| 69 |
|
| 70 |
Controller->Modern IDE-Cable->HD-Box->Old IDE-Cable->HD. |
| 71 |
|
| 72 |
I think that the 'Old IDE-Cable' part is causing the troubles. However I |
| 73 |
can't verify that without rearranging a bulk of ide-drives. |
| 74 |
I'll buy myself a new box and tell you about the results. |
| 75 |
|
| 76 |
Thanks for your hints, Matthias |
