grumbe. This code should correct initalization as per ATA-3 specs. what hard disk is this?
It's a 20GB drive from Fujitsu.
I'm thinking to replace this with a 2.5" drive. Should I avoid Fujitsu next time? :)
heh. dunno. It would be interesting to see why it fails. Is that b/c the loop times out or is that b/c it does not confirm to ATA specs, or something else.
unfortunatelly I'm at the present time busy with other things nor I have the hardware to test.
