and what is that connector that is right to the left of the SATA connector?

Ian, can you try the drive on a non Intel SATA chipeset as well? I knwo MSI claims it only works on Intel based, but it would be interesting to test that statement.

Promise controllers won't work with optical drives, but Silicon Image should.

Yeah, I'll try it on my VIA board. Right now I'm having problems setting the region. It won't stick/set.

No, they sent me the 1.30 firmware and it wouldn't update either. I think the drive is fubared.

by **hoxlund** on Tue Jul 20, 2004 11:24 pm
