Are you sure Len? Maybe this guy used an old ATA33 cable not knowing
the difference or the discs are old ATA33?? I really would like to know the 
trick you use to see the color of a cable just by reading a mail!

If you are writing to this list, you are supposed to have basic knowledge 
about your machinery. I think Gorm has checked his cables.

By the way, this topic and the same brand was up last week. My TX4 has 
the same problem and trust me, if you work as sysadmin, you check your 
cables before writing here.

And to Brian, still no luck with my machine so I will rearrange a little 
in my rack and use this machine as a Win2k machine for those people who thinks
ASP is the gift from god to humanity. No more Promise TX4 on BSD!
