Re: [cobalt-users] Qube 2700WG HDD Upgrade

["Bryan S. Brandt" <bsbrandt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've tried master, no jumper at all (default for single-drive PC systems
using one WD drive in this series) and cable select (used by the Sun Ultra 5
for example...a long shot, but worth a try).  Unfortunately, they all yield
the same result.
