Hi,
To answer your questions about my configuration:
ABIT BP6 with HPT366 onboard
2xCel466 (not overclocked)
64MB SDRAM PC100
ATI Mach64 (quite old)
3DFx Voodoo2
Ethernet PCI 10/100 Realtek 8139
SB PCI 128
Modem ISA 56k
CDROM Actima 50x on hda
CDRW Creative 2224 on hdc
WD136BA 7200rpm on hde
OK, When the Blue High Point BIOS screen shows, Does your Drive show
" Mode 4" ? If not then your Hard Drive is not configured correctly.Western
Digital Drives work very well with the BP6 mainboard when set properly.
Western Digital provides a floppy disk to set the drives in UDMA66 mode.

Hi!

I am wondering what the normal speed for UDMA66? I just got about
14M/second, as fast as UDMA33.

If you are using a Western Digital drive, make sure that the Mode is set to
UDMA66. They provide a floppy disk to do that with. If this is not done the
drive can behave differently. This system is using two 7200RPM WD drives
on the UDMA66 IDE3 port.

And I am very curious also why /dev/scd0 would work. CDRWs are

be it? Is your CDRW acting like ONLY a CD-R?
