I usually set it to master as it's the only device that is on the IDE chain in said enclosure. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Are you talking about a FW-IDE enclosure? If that's the case then Master. If this is some kind of IDE external enclosure then the setting is dependent on what it is connected to it Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Then after Daniel and others told me to set to Master, I needed to use handbrake to import a movie to iTunes and was pleasantly surprised when it took a pleasing 16 mins to encode! If my itunes CD import works as good, all is great in my world!:-) Jeff Engle -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
