hmm - a quick google revealed this interesting article:
http://www.behardware.com/articles/4...rd-drives.html
if this is correct then the
good news is that firmware that will allow AAM to be set
does exist
(though as it was never released, finding it may not be easy...)
but the
bad news is that that on the PATA drives such as yours it is factory set for
quiet and so AAM will not solve the problem
