Hmm thats true Martin,  but two new motherboards later and new drivers never resolved the failures I had on going back to the older IDE 133 drives all has been well..  I had Serials drives set up for both the speed option, and also the backup method.. I may review them at another rebuild, as I am sure the newer Motherboards have fixed some of the issues.. I wonder how others have found the Serial devices have proved for reliability..
