Well, could also be a problem with the UDMA modes. lots of non-UDMA capable CD-ROM do not like being on the same port with a HDD that does UDMA and have the mobo drive it with UDMA... Also could be that the electronic is somwhat really weird (they were the first, as ATAPI was quite a fresh thing) and may not behave standard way... Some other SCSI Nec CD-ROMS also did not behaved well (3x-6x) Regards Olaf Hoyer -------- Olaf Hoyer www.nightfire.de mailto:Olaf.Hoyer@nightfire.de FreeBSD- Turning PC's into workstations ICQ:22838075 Liebe und Hass sind nicht blind, aber geblendet vom Feuer, dass sie selber mit sich tragen.
