- I have two IDE Drives set up on my system---a 340MB Maxtor as the primrary,
- and a an 80MB Maxtor as the slave.
-
-
- I recently moved them to a new case where the 340MB is right on top of the
- 80MB drive.
-
- The 80MB drive is now starting to generate a large number of TIME-OUT errors
- under just about ANY OS I run it under.
-
- Is this likely to be caused by the additional heat of the other drive on top
- of it, or are we looking ar more serious hardware problems.
