IBM ATA Deskstars *without* tagged queueing?

2002-09-26 Thread Bruce M Simpson
Guys, I bought a Deskstar 120GXP that *doesn't* appear to do tagged queueing. I was wondering if anyone else had encountered such a thing. It's somewhat annoying; generally I buy IBM drives for precisely the reason that they're meant to support tagging. The device model ID is IC35L040AVVN07-0.
