A new carrier always works in an old socket (obviously you don't get
ATA-100 in this case).
Yeah, pretty much my experience. I've even tried tying the ATA-100 detect
pin to ground, but then I come up with data errors--the connectors and PCB
and associated glarp on the tray probably represent too much of an
impedance "bump" for successful ATA-100 transfers.
