For the ATAPI drives, I have to check. For the SCSI drives, I would assume that the controller would be the option, and both the Adaptek controllers I have are either DMA or bus master, and use next to no CPU when doing heavy disk i/o. I will check the setting on the ATAPI drive, I make no guess if that is or isn't until I look at the rc.local file. -- -bill davidsen ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) "The secret to procrastination is to put things off until the last possible moment - but no longer" -me -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
