Allison, my Pocket PCRef confirms what another gouge told me that both of
the A suffix drives are 16 bit IDE while there is/was also an X which was
an 8 bit IDE. The D suffix seems to have introduced translation
capability. The drive that you have - unless someone has swapped logic
cards - cannot be expected to work with the 8 bit card.
