Hello, Try OS X - it enables the master/slave on the CD-Rom bus (set the CD to master). Drawbacks - as reported on G-List - the bus is slow (16.7 MB/sec) compared to the IDE bus 0 (on the mob itself). I still don't see why we can't extract the code enabling this feature - unless it's OS X-only friendly. Plus, there is a flash Rom update for OS X for the VST card. Cheers George
