I'm having some difficulty with a Quicksilver 933 I've had for a couple years. I don't use it much, but don't remember initially having these issues when I acquired it.
The main problem I'm having is getting it to work with any other types of hard drives other than a standard 3.5" PATA drive. I know there are issues with getting PCI SATA cards to work and I've given up on that for now after trying to mod the voltage regulator on one I bought from Alibaba with no success.
I've bought two different SATA to PATA converters. Both sort of work in that I can see the drives and format them, but they're either not bootable or when they do boot, my Apple black USB pro mouse inexplicably doesn't register clicks (though the cursor does move).
I just can't figure out if there is something I'm doing wrong here or do I just have a "flaky" machine.
