[ale] ide reset

[Joseph A. Knapka]

I used to use WD drives all the time - they were cheap - but
no more. They definitely have quality problems. I haven't
settled on a preference yet, but I've got Seagate, Quantum,
and Maxtor drives in different machines now, and they all
seem more reliable than WD. (Of course this is not in
any way a scientific statement :)
