This smells alot like substandard > hardware. Yes, HDD on the primary, CD-ROM on the secondary controller. This is a notebook I'm talking about, so I haven't tried any other CD-ROM drives. If it doesn't respond at all, then how do you get all the other information, such as supported read types, speed, etc? Perhaps there is some other way of making this particular CD-ROM drive generate an interrupt? Of course, it's just a minor annoyance (and otherwise I'm very pleased with the driver's performance - many thanks to SOS), but if the new ATA driver were to eventually replace the old one, it's not a bad idea to try and get rid of as many silly error messages as possible. Is there just one standard that all ATAPI CD-ROM drives must comply with, or can there be variations? I apologize if this is a silly question.
