That's what I was thinking of as my next option if I can't get the IDE
controller to work properly.  I installed a SATA controller and used a
400GB SATA disk in an external enclosure on a sparc64, and currently
run it with a 64k/8k FFS file system, and performance is really nice.
I was also considering using a CF/IDE adapter for the boot file
system on the DS10, as I wanted to have the disk internal in it.
