- Joseph,

- You might want to try the Norway wd driver by Tom Ivar Helbekkmo. In
- my opinion, it is definitely superior to even the patched stock wd driver. It
- fixes problems with bad block handling completely, supports 4 drives with 2
- controllers. I think the stock wd driver won't support secondary controllers
- because the BIOS has no support for them (the stock wd driver still relies on
- the BIOS tables for the initialization routines). You can ftp the Norway
- driver from barsoom.nhh.no. Good luck!
