I have a more basic question about this WD drive problem.  Can someone 
help me out here.

From what I've seen, it looks like there are two separate(?) problems and 
solutions out there.  One involves the "overlay" (which I know nothing 
about, really) and appears to be for several different models of WD 
drives which are incompatible with certain motherboards/bios??  The other 
is the manufacturing defect which the test program is supposed to detect 
on the WDC31600 specifically.

Are these two problems related?  Totally separate?  I cannot tell from 
the postings on this newsgroup.

Thanks in advance.

John
