My XTIDE card died a slow death. It doesn't detect drives any more. This happened slowly, over a period of several months. At first it would fail to detect an attached drive on rare occasions. Then it would fail to detect more and more often until finally it never detects any attached drive any more. It did take many months to go from sporadic to complete failure. The card's other functions seem to be OK in that it prompts for booting from a floppy drive or a 'foreign hard drive' if there is another drive/controller in the system. It just will no longer detect a drive connected to itself. I've cleaned all the contacts, reseated the EEPROM and even re-flashed it but nothing has changed its behavior. Any ideas?
