	I have similar problems with my IDE (Seagate 1144A).  When I first boot
up, the light cycles faster until it is almost continuous, then start slow and
builds up again (needless to say, it doesn't complete a boot sequence).  If I
cycle the power, everything is fine.

	The other problem is similar to the ones presented earleir.  The drive
just times out with a sector not found or drive not ready error.

	Sounds like an IDE specification problem.
