Thanks for all the help but I tried it all and no luck and now I have one dead
SCSI controller and I am not fraging the last adaptec that I have.  I just
broke down and bought a card reader and I have a mini itx system that has a
card reader as the firs IDE Drive.  this will have to do for now till I can
afford a new mini-ITX system for my next project. I am planing on building a
NAS box and utilizing all these 29 GB IDE I have laying around with a JBOD
adapter from Addanoics mostly to store my movies on so I can watch them on my
PSP (talked the wife into letting me order the Datatel drive for it). This is
gonna be cool I think.
