Re: [TCLUG:20134] [OT - Hardware] DMA-33, -66, -100 silliness

hrm.. i thought all IDE, like scsi drives were backwards compatable, you
should be able to use a DMA-66/100 drive on a DMA/33 box.. have a couple
DMA-66 drives working that way around.  mental help?  maybe your board
needs that.. flash update.. or try it in a similar board.  fiscal
help.. sorry.. my car got wrecked recently, i need fiscal help too :)

Thank You,
        Ben Kochie (ben@nerp.net)
