I use one of these 3387 drives -- fast little sucker. Too bad it heats up
so much it needs a fan blowing on it 24/7... 

I have a pr440fx motherboard coming soon. I didn't realize it has only the
wide connector. We'll need to find a 68->50 adaptor that includes proper
termination, I think. I'm not sure if simply enabling high byte
termination on the controller would take care of this.

Let me know about your results, as I will soon have the same setup.
