Thought I'd get pop new hard drives in as I was starting to get some odd issues (not least being a mismatch of results on the ide_test) during boot, and far too many media checks. Looks like it may not have been drive issues, as today I get a response of 2023 from 0000, FFFF, AAAA and 5555. Bizarrely it all appears to work, and I have tested synchronising etc., but I'm guessing something a bit more serious than a cable problem (I recrimped anyway, but no joy)

Any thoughts above and beyond the FAQ info?
