I'm wondering whether to free one up (would involve replacing/upgrading the CD drive) as it occurs to me that running the 2 drives as master/slave from one bus might not be the optimum route.
Dear Micheal, If I'm right, if the mac bus is the same as pc. The bus will run at the speed of the slowest device. So If you have a hard drive on the same one as the cd drive it will run at pio mode 2 (33 mb/s) Where as the hard drive is probably a pio mode 5 drive (100mbs). So the ata cables may be different as well. It is normal to have them on the same bus so they bothe work in pio mode 5 . Hope that helps Cheers Ian Reynolds =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
