Unfortunately, it's still hanging, but I do think slowing it down may
have reduced the number and extent of the hangs. Wish I could find a way
to make it hang.
I only have the cable that came in the Adaptec kit, so I have to go find
a better cable, and considering the local stores, it appears I'll have
to order one. Anyone with a suggestions for suppliers of high quality
cables?
