I seem to remember there being some problems with the onboard network ports on these machines... the DEC controller just can't keep up with any real traffic.I've put a 160GB 2"1/2 PATA on my qube2 with a 3"1/2 to 2"1/2 adapter.Works fine since months on lenny ... but i can't get more than 2.1Mb/s over ethernet.
