Thanks for the suggestion; it'll be nice to know I'm using a good, stable
driver (no disrespect to the bge folks, of course, as I understand that
the documentation provided was a bit lacking). I've managed to find one
for £20, which is hopefully the correct one: it's a "BLK" designation but
its hardware specs look identical.
Of course I should be looking at a new motherboard at some point to
replace this rather elderly thing, especially as my SATA controllers are
equally flaky, but that's a subject for a new thread!
And now to follow Matthew's recommendation to use TCP connections for my
NFS...
Cheers!
