A4000T's IDE compatibility woes...

[Jose]

I got this 120GB Seagate hd that works well on the PC but fails miserably on the A4000T. Jumper is set correctly(master, slave off). An old 120MB hd I have lying around works like a charm on the A4000T, so it's not a problem with the controler.
I remember some threads about something similar a while ago, but can't find them anymore, is this a known problem with some hd's or it should work ?

Time to get another Acard scsi to ide adpter I guess. Dammit, those things are expensive:(

Trying to do a basic install from zero, so AOS3.1 with 40.70 Roms only (using the Install floppy). Didn't make any difference without jumper, so maybe it's the HD wich doesn't have IDE0 fallback mode or something (as suggested above). I could try it on an A4000D but don't fell like disassembling it yet again. And I've already ordered an Acard scsi2ide bridge meanwhile anyway :-)

@Rkauer
Not using SFS (yet, see above...).
