OK! This is his (mike's) solution! 40 x CD-ROM setup in the BIOS to AUTO and as the primary drive for the second ide controller. He also made sure the drive was set as master. Works fine! (Now that the installation has already been done using the 32x.) But he is still unsure whether the drive will work for the original 3.1-R installation. Poor guy spent atleast 1 hour talking to me (in the UK) from Australia via my mobile at 4.00am his time! And just wanted to go home!! -----Original Message----- From: Bob K <melange@yip.org> To: Jason Cropper <jason@clearsail.net> Cc: Greg Quinlan <greg@qmpgmc.ac.uk>; freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG <freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG> Date: 10 May 1999 17:33 Subject: RE: 40 x, ATAPI CD-ROM, not detected! >Just out of curiousity, has anyone tried making it the slave and putting a >drive on the master? > >On Mon, 10 May 1999, Jason Cropper wrote: > >> We have the exact same problem with a Memorex CDROM.
