Not that it was the highest of anyones suspected causes, but I've now pulled 2 other (longer, but previously-known-good) ATA100+ IDE cables from another machine, and each yields a working disk with the same issue when I attempt to newfs it.
So, the next question falls to, is there anything that anyone can think to try? Or is it just a lost cause, and I should assume that only one of my disks will run in Ultra-DMA mode?
Thanks.
