Yes Wolf, I am full aware of all this - I've been servicing PC's for
about 20 years - Believe me, I'm not the idiot you're trying to make me
out to be... Just because I don't have a bunch of "Certifications" to add
to my sig doesn't mean I don't know what I'm doing, OK?  Give me just
about any MCSE or A+ test and I'll pass it with flying colors...

I *was* using a cable-select cable - took me a little while to find one
here locally as many shops simply don't "deal" with the cable-select
function...

As for the solution to this Fujitsu drive dilemma - If you have any
ideas, I'd sure like to hear them... I've gone round-n-round with Fujitsu
tech support and have spoken to other experienced PC techs - nobody seems
to have any answers to this problem... As I've said, I've been doing this
a long time and, except for various problems with WD drives, I've *never*
run across this problem before - It seems to be specific to certain
Fujitsu drives...
