Thanks for your reply.
As I said earlier, I am not experiencing any problems, so no need for any action as long as nothing is seriously wrong.
One of my PCs exhibiting the phenomenon is an Abit NF7 which already has one of the latest BIOSs (modded). the second is an Abit AN7 which also has one of the last BIOSs released.
Both are running the Linux 2.6.16 kernel which is quite new.
It is the IDE cables that I still wonder about. They are all the 'rounded' ones that are commercially available. I wonder if these are not particularly good in terms of screening or capacitance.
What do you mean by 80-pin cables?. All my rounded cables will be 80-core, but I assume that the connectors can only be 40-pin.
