I'll give that a go and let y'all know what I find. I've got the ATACD on its own channel because I've hit issues in the past with having a DMA and PIO device on the same channel with this controller, but from reading my boot messages this morning my CD drive thinks it supports UDMA 33. Go fig. I should probably also sup the machine past DP2, but it's just been so wonderfully stable...I'm so used to using -stable that this feels like pushing my luck. :-) Thanks! -Cliff L.
