>Question: The CD-ROM appears to be IDE. Is there any problem having >an IDE CD but with the system running on Fast-SCSI hard drives?
Nope. I run an EIDE CD-ROM-R-R/W as EIDE Bus 0 and an EIDE DVD-ROM-R-R/W as EIDE Bus 1, and all my hard drives are UW-SCSI or LVD-SE SCSI, using an ATTO controller. No problems, except the DVD drive occasionally drops ready, and that is consistent across a Pioneer DVR-105 and a DVR-106. I always boot from a 10K rpm 36 GB Cheetah, and I have a 250 GB Diamond Max 9 on an ACARD SCSI-IDE "bridge" on the same SCSI cable as a backup. (The ACARD SCSI-IDE "Bridge" product was updated to 48-bit LBA a long time ago, so there is no reason to install an UATA/133 card in what is basically a SCSI-based system). -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
