I do too and am almost ready to throw in the towel (and I seem to be almost unique in experiencing these problems) - except 1) There is an open bug report on debian (#265747) of someone with the same model of drive having problems (and to which I added myself). Later down the bug discussion someone else has chipped in with a Cyberdrive (different model) with problems. 3) This is absolutely consistent every run. Its the READ BUFFER command where it first occurs (without DMA), and this is not the first time that data has been transfered (via pio). However, under both Windows XP and linux 2.4 (using the ide-scsi module) the drive works perfectly. [Thinks - maybe I should spend some time looking at the 2.4 code and understanding the differences] Yesterday, I eventually got to the Cyberdrive Web site (it seems to have been unavailable for a while) and downloaded the latest firmware upgrade. The upgrade worked perfectly (had to do it under windows) and it made absolutely no difference. -- Alan Chandler alan@chandlerfamily.org.uk First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. --Gandhi
