The old wd disk driver used to have a flag to enable 32-bit transfers, but the ATA driver doesn't. I assume it always uses 32-bit. You can set the transfer speed with the "atacontrol" command if the driver didn't detect the right speed. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
