Zdenek,
Make sure you choose the Dani drivers, and make sure you have the most
current one for hard drives. (Hobbes has the latest, I believe.)

Also, assuming you have a CD burner on another machine, you might want
to grab the eCS 1.2R (Refresh) from eComStation.com, because it has more
current drivers than the eCS 1.2 CD's.

I have a Dell machine that came with SATA, and I added a second drive to
hold eCS. The latest Dani driver at the time (January, 2005) got my
machine working.

Happy building,
Colin Campbell
