Hiya Don, I'm asking you because you've probably got a better idea on this than anyone including people at DPS (oops <g>). So what's the deal with these Mode 4 IDE's like Western Digital, any possibility that they'll run on the PAR. Jeez looking at the specs 16mb a second + transfer rate, don't know if that's sustained but it sounds like it… now I really wonder if some of these people jumping on the PVR bandwagon aren't being a little hasty… You know I'm a real believer in SCSI but as the PAR is an independent solution with a dedicated drive it really doesn't matter… 16mb's a second transfer rate would give a pretty clean image I would think… imagine capture at that rate… no artifacts… Is it a question of DPS having a driver? Or the hd's not having T-cal to contend with… Just very curious because there has been little to nothing mentioned about the increased throughput on these IDE's let alone anyone stating that its doable, and I probably wouldn't have made the connection except that you mentioned this many many months ago as a possibility… John
