Actually, I did have it set up properly in sbpcd.h. It wasn't the sbpcd
driver that was "crappy". In fact, the Linux driver worked better than
any of the Windoze drivers ever did. I call the drive crappy because
Teac gave poor support on every front. I was happy when the thing
actually died. Now I have a simple 4X IDE drive which works beautifully.
Thanks. Syrus.
