Hi Robert, no hope... The Drive's Led is always lit, and motor is turning. Really looks like BIOS does not know how to handle it. Last time I saw it working must have been in 1995-1997, on another motherboard, same drive, same cable. I also tested A and B, and the cable has the "inverting" part at the end. Also, the drive used to work when set as "D1" (with jumpers), but now I tried both, and when I move to D0, Led switched off (and motor still turning). D1 = Led on, motor on, Head somewhat stopped. -- Ciao, Dario -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
