Hi,

I ended up giving up on this for a while.

After I got the hardware somewhat working (much the same problems as you are experiencing), I ran into problems with Emplode and Jemplode not enjoying the SATA experience.

I hope you find something I missed.

In the meantime, the WD 250GB PATA drives went up in price.

Thanks,

Ross
