Ther're two types of 80pins ribbons, and found that you can interchange them in some scenarios. As a first aid, try change the cable, loocking for the presence (or not) of a cut cable. Also, you may use a 40pins ribbon, that will get you in UDMA33 . -- josemi _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
