Any one using the old school PATA (IDE?) HD's I have a few I tried to throw in my machine I got one recognized but it hasnt been recognized again. not really sure what the deal is just wondering. ive toyed with the bios too but again im not sure what I can do, the bios doesn't seam to recognize them. I might need pin covers for the drive. I thought the bios chose which drive was being used so i threw the master slave covers out... Hope I don't need em. Also here are my kexts if anyone sees any tweaks I could make let me know
