Hi Chris,
I was just wondering about asking a cisco config question here but felt it
was off topic.
/dev/hda looks normal to me. I'm not sure about /dev/hdc but I wouldn't
think a slave would matter what mode it was capable of or why the bus speed
seems slow.
Is this an older drive? Newer drives default to their highest PIO transfer
mode. Modes live in the chipset/driver I believe so maybe it's a linux
driver issue?
Anyway, welcome to SLUG. =)
