You're right. Because i needed a backup unit not a primary hd.
It would have been foolish to remove my new 7200 rpm hd and install that old
(1997) drive. But the mistery remains... That Quantum worked perfectly
on a 100mhz BX system cooperating with a 6.4gb samsung (maybe it was a
Fu-jitsu...).
It can also be fault of the Eide controller on board (via 694x) or the other
drives (pioneer 105s and philips CDD 3610).
Actually cmos saw something, because it continued to probe that ide channel
for about 1 min. HD led was always on and my primary hd was so slowed down
that i couldn't even reach the boot process.
