[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Seagate ST225 and WD1002WX-2 questi

Have you had the NEC V30 all along?  It's possible that your disk 
device driver has software delay loops, which now run faster than
before, necessitating retries.

It may be a combination of the controller card and the processor chipo
from what I've been told.  Check and see which Rom version your controller
is:  F019 or F022.  The F022 is an autoconfig chip that "MIGHT" have
problems at high speed and or with a non-ibm system.  I was told that by
my distributor when putting the controllers and Seagates into Zenith 158s
with their dual speed 8088-2 chips.  We also had the consideration of
possibly networking and stories that there might be problems because of
that.  Sorry I don't have concrete ideas for you.
