QNX 4.24 and New HDD

Hello,
Dose anybody know if Qnx 4.24 can work fine with new hard disks types (UDMA
33 and UDMA66)?
I have installed some new PC’s with such disks and from that time I have
problems with database files working on them
(chkfsys finds many bitmap error ofen).

Best regards,

There is no support for the Ultra DMA/33/66 spec in QNX4.2x.

They should all be backward compatible. I said SHOULD.

QNX 4.24 can be used with a UDMA33 Drive without any problems,
however when using QNX with a UDMA66 drive the drive must be
connected using the older style cables (40 pin) to the ATA33
slots on the motherboard. (Thus disabling ATA66 Mode)
