Hi,
I occasionally get a "Delayed Write Failed" error when a hard drive (placed inside a mobile rack) is plugged into my PCI IDE card. The problem also occurs with other HDDs, not just my one. Suggestions?
 
did you install the manufacturer's driver for the IDE card, or are you using a driver provided by windows?
 
I have installed the manufacturer's drivers (ST Lab / Silicon Image).
 
Try disabling the write cache under system manager - ide controllers. Not an explanation but it could get rid of the problem. The cache should work.

Or you could turn off "performance" under windows performance settings for the troublesome drive(s). That will kill caching also.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
