I agree :)

If I remember correctly it was a problem during the actual recording.
I'll redo that, but it will probably mean another coaster in my desk ;)

I'll try that. My bet is on the USB converter, since reloading the
entire usb modules chain makes it work again
Problem is I'm not using this drive as an 'external drive', rather,
the jmicron device is in the motherboard, providing a 'native IDE
port' in the MB (I know, I know)

Needless to say this works flawlessly in that other proprietary OS...
