There is a jumper on the back of the drive that gets shipped in the
XT position .....change it to the AT position......I had the same
problem TWICE........(after the first time I forgot...hehe...whoops)


This is why it gives the same dir over again.....XT controllers
have an on-board buffer, AT 's use a buffer in the drive itself
so if it thinks you have an XT it wont clear the buffer ......



(I might have the explanation backwards, but you get the basic
idea......)
