The drive is not dead. It is brand new. It is working find in my main machine. It is this drive. http://groups.google.com/group/comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.storage/browse_frm/thread/9f5fbb7cc8c7a539?scoring=d&

Maybe someone can direct me to one, but I don't think one exists. This is what I found. http://www.siliconimage.com/support/index.aspx?pid=63&cid=15& Thanks |
