This isn't very encouraging. :(  After months of trying to decide on
which mainboard to purchase, I rather enthusiastically settled on the
Shuttle HOT-565/569.  It had all the features I wanted in a Socket 7
MB, not least important being the extremely low price. But who could
possibly imagine that it's most advanced central feature -- the 430TX
chipset -- would be my undoing?  I just can't afford to purchase a new
HDD right now.  Still haven't purchased the motherboard yet.  My only
hope is that there's a work around for the problem.  Someone recently
emailed me & implied that an updated Award BIOS can solve the problem.


May I ask a question?  How did the ST-3851A perform otherwise using
these TX motherboards?  Also, if you *do* decide to test the drive on
other non-TX-based boards, could you please post your results here or
email me?  I would sure appreciate it.  Thanks <sad sigh>.
