2000-11-18 Thread Andre Hedrick
There is a problem that it does not downgrade the IO if all you have is iCRC errors. The threshold is 10 events without other errors and it should skip you from ATA-66 to ATA-44. If you did not enable the tuning aspect of the chipset then do so now. Regards, Andre Hedrick CTO Timpanogas
