Hi Dick,

Excuses me for the silence.

Can you tell me why the drive stops to respond? Where
the problem starts? As I tell before, we tried
different drives and that has not help us.

Friday, The constructor comes to a meeting in our
offices and they affirm that their materials is ok.

Have you read some articles that pointed out failures
on the South Bridge VIA VT82c686 or other's chipset
off the VIA PN133 architecture?
