- I just bought a new system from seperate parts, a 486SX 25MHz, and I
- can't get my hard disk to work properly, for some reason it insists to run
- at a transfere rate of 400K/Sec when the manual says it should be running at
- nearer 1500K/Sec. What am I doing wrong? The bus speed is set correctly and
- so is everything else; as far as I can tell. The drive is a samsung 120 Mb
- is this the root of my problems, several people have told me there
- unreliable and it was cheap. Somebody please help me.
