Actually $45 was the cheapest one I could find locally. Maxtor ATA/133, which is really a Promise card. And the advice was correct. Once I got around to installing the thing, speed returned to normal. I have the boot drive on channel 1 of the motherboard controller, my two CD drives on channel 2, and the Maxtor 40 gig drive on channel 1 of the new controller. In setting things up, I found EVMS, a wonderful utility if you don't know which drive ended up as which device. I recommend it to anyone installing new drive controllers or drives. -- Carl Fink [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jabootu's Minister of Proofreading http://www.jabootu.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
