I now tried something different. I issued a "format track command" and sent 512 bytes afterwards as described in the ata spec. The drive does not respond with an error, and when I read the sector buffer right afterwards, it contains the exact data I transfered after I issued the format track command.
Okay, this is not getting results. I believe that a long way back in the thread that you said that only one drive make+model exhibited this issue--other drives worked fine.
Right now, I can't find the post where you specified the drive. Who knows--I might have one.
