No change with that. No change when replaced the IDE cable yet again with another, this one still sealed in it's package. The machine has a PIIX4 onboard controller. I don't know if it's a problem; If I can come up with another piece of hardware to try this drive in, I will, but a "communications time-out" makes no sense. -D -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
