Although the drive works without being seen in DM, it still bothered me
and constantly "niggled" away in the back of my brain.
This evening, I remembered that the VIA Miniport driver was originally
intended to supplement and expand the native Windows IDE controller
even though it hasn't been needed for some time. I did not previously
have it on my system as it wasn't needed with the Maxtor 80Gb drive.
But ... with nothing to lose and seriously considering returning these
drives, I dug out a copy and installed it.
Voila!!! All drives are now seen in DM, no flags on the controllers and
the transfer rate is back to where it should be again.
So, Gary .. thanks for your effort and time ...
Take care, do good and have fun ...
