Aaron:

Many thanks for the info and I think that you nailed it!

My PCI bus is version 2.10, however I am unable to locate info on the 
Sabrent card as to what versions it works with.

Next question is there a work-around for this problem??

Thanks es 73

Hi Gene (et al),

I can think of two things...bad card or incompatible card.  The first 
doesn't need explaination, so I'll discuss the second...

The PCI "spec" has been updated several times since PCI's inception (1.x, 
2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 3.0).  The older rev's supported both 3.3v and 5.0v 
signaling, but Rev's 2.3 and 3.0 eliminate the 5v line.  Rev 2.3 removed the 
"requirement" for 5v signaling and Rev 3.0 eliminated it.

Older motherboards will have PCI 2.0, 2.1, or 2.2 compliant slots.  Newer 
motherboards will have 2.3 or 3.0 compliant slots.  If the SATA controller 
is using 2.3 or 3.0 and the motherboards are <= 2.2, then that might be the 
problem.

Take a look at the specs and see if it's a compatibility problem.

73,

Yup.

Other PCI cards work OK. . . .
