Hi all,

Has anyone gotten a promise ultra 133 tx2 card to work in ata 133 mode 
on their alpha?? Is there anything special i need to do???

I can not get my Promise Ultra TX 2 133 ATA-IDE card to function 
properly. It always wants to operate in PI0 mode instead of UDMA133. 
When i try to set the ard using atacontrol , i immediately get CRC 
errors and a notice that the card is being set to PI0 mode....my cables 
are standard 133 and they are installed properly.

I have two of these cards in teh same alpha. each card has one ata-133 
hard drive attached
.

any tips welcome..thanx

John
