Nate,

Was in the process of tracking down a BIOS upgrade when I wrote my first
post. :-) Many thanks to our friends at Gigabit for supporting their
GA-7VMKL mobo.

This morning after literally dozens of tries, HELIX has fully booted and
is functioning (sort of). The machine is still chained to a lamp post,
speed-wise, so I don't think the core problem is solved yet. At least I
should now be able to back up images of the two hard drives.
