I just happened upon these messages..
FYI:
the 760ED-U3A is a PCI buss machine whereas the 760CD is a ISA buss machine..
ED is MUCH faster.. also, P-133, etc.
AND
if you are not seeing a 3 or 5gig drive then you need to update the bios..
i use a 760ED as a mule to test and set up 5 and the lone 8gig drive(s) that i send
out..
so it WILL see those drives..
