> The configuration is as follows: > Start-Up-HDs (2*SATA on RAID-Controller): IRQ 16 > DVD writer 1: on PCI card IDE controller (master): IRQ 17 > DVD writer 2: primary IDE channel, master IRQ 14 > DVD read: sec. IDE channel, master IRQ14 > CD writer: prim. slave > 3rd HD: sec slave
All instruction for IDE connections that I have seen say emphatically that you must not put CD/DVD devices on the same controller channel/cable as a hard disk. Because of a timing problem in the ATA/IDE spec, it tends to cause data corruption on the hard disk. -- Author: Dave Baldwin INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Hosting, San Diego, California -- http://www.fatcity.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB CHIPDIR-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
