One possible fix for a slow third-party hard drive
Which PowerBook was this? All current models have a connector which covers all the pins on the drive and therefore automatically sets the drive role correctly - if any jumpers are on the drive the connector won't even go on. I think the only exceptions are some of the Titaniums where the connector on the flex cable only jumpers one of the role pins so the only way I can see the situation described happening is if one of the jumpers is left on (the outsidemost) although I would still think that would make getting the connector on enough of a chore that you'd notice something wasn't quite right...

TiBook 1Ghz, but it's IDE cable doesn't cover any control pins.

Same with a 667mhz TiBook

You're right, I was thinking of some other model. The rule of thumb still applies though... |
