Drive Transfers Too Fast?
We discovered that the computer/drive was unreliable with a UDMA/100 drive attached to the 100MHz drive bus on an ASUS motherboard. It appears to be a problem between the motherboard and the hard drive, when run at 100MHz.
We moved the drive to the slower 33/66MHz bus and everything worked fine. This appears to be an "evolutionary" problem as the new UDMA/100 busses are being added to motherboards. The first ones to use it are the pioneers, and in this case it is on the "bleeding edge" of technology; i.e. not quite there yet.
Did you try moving your SCSI drive to the Ultra bus? I don't even know if this can be done. The goal is to slow down the drive and see if the problem goes away. Let us know if you have tried this.
