hi, i had sat up most all night with my old powerbook this
week several i thought i should share some of this story. this hard drive i got to give me more space for etch, sarge, and my 68k experiments/exchanges, called ----------------- IBM DYLA-28100, (has a couple alias names too). corrupts its own data sometimes when there is cd in expansion bay. although i have a pb3400, apples tech note describes problem with Wall Street and i have experience similar/worse problem. this is a nice drive once i clued in on this, much better than what i had, but must use the fake/empty expansion module and external cd. i have tried from both sides, mac os and debian and i got copy errors from parted (restoring my backup) which sounded like backup drive was also bad, but in fact not. the note on the wall street says it is a hardware problem on the motherboard. something to do with udma, these were early versions of that aka ata-33. maybe newer drives can switch down to older/slower, i don't know. anyway i am trying to live with this after taking my book apart 3 times, returning drive for exchange, reformatting, etc leaving it in now, it appears ok. runs great by the way ! one other thing although appeared ata33 w/ macos8.6, if using bootx or any mac stuffs, mac drivers would seem to fail with anything less than 9.1. (don't know about 10.x..) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
