To OP:

To use any IDE drive with a Rev1 B&W, first stick the drive in a PC with IDE, make a HDAT2 bootdisk http://(http://www.hdat2.com/files/hdat2img_453.exe), boot from it, and use it to restrict the drive's transfer rate to either UDMA Mode 0 or PIO. It'll limit your transfer rate to 16.67MB/s but at least it'll play nice with the Rev1's IDE controller :beige:

I certainly hope that you are comfy with a DOS environment. :-)
