Check your platformbytes that will determine it most of the time.
cd de platformbytes will give the info. But I'm not where I can look the info up.

I found one in BIOS > platformbytes, the value is :
Platform Bytes are "3.1.1"

On a v1 it would prepare the HD and set it up without an image file. So install a clean (small 2-10gig) HH and see if it will make it bootable. If not it's more than likely a v2.

Hmm, I don't think I have any spare Hard disks lying around, but the moment I find one I will give this a try (although I'm suspecting it is a v1).

I have used v4.0.860 on several 1000 with no problems or slowdowns (in fact it got a little better, not worse).

Nice! Alas, not in my case. Indeed it could be that it is the hard disk, or something else, but all I know is that it did not max out at 500kbyte/s before I updated the OS. I shall try another hard disk anyway (see above) and that might shed some light on the situation.

See how your drive is set (Master or Cable Select) and then try the other one.

The drive was set to Cable Select, switched it to Master, but have not got any real change out of it.
