- You're right, this and some other errors (e.g. can't save to disk...) are
- caused by a not correctly wired 2.5"-->3.5"-cable. I had the same problems with
- my selfbuilt 2.5"-->3.5"-cable. So carefully check all connections between the
- cable and the plug. Also check, if there are shortages between pins which are
- next to each other on the plug.

- I hope this helps...
