I'm so sorry MO. Eight years old is not too bad for scotch or wine but I'm not sure about HDD. Here is a candle for the passing of your controller...talker.

thanks for the well wishes. i'm now on the path of total upgrade! i finally found a source for the tyan s5397 (not from newegg, and without the onboard LSI sas controller, of course!), and am going ahead with an intel system ( 
).

hey bill, the scsi drives were only a year old (as is the controller). the ata drive in question is an old hand -me-down from patty, which i use in a pinch. gotta give some respect to them old ata drives
