Subject: trouble with ata 66 drive on main controller of Abit kt7a-raid

am having difficulties with the main ata controller.  i've got a couple 
of IBM ata 100 drives on the highpoint, but wanted to add an additional 
drive to the main ata bus.  every time i try to mount it i get 'udma 
write error' several times, the bus gets reset, and then the process 
just gives up and fails.

the drive is the secondary master, with my cdrw as the primary master.

should i swap the cables around or something?  i remember reading of 
some problems when running a cd as the master device, but i'd like to 
leave it it's own channel to keep my frisbee ratio lower.

thanks
