Most of the CDROM drives I've come across have 3 settings, labelled MA, SL, and CS. Normally MA == Master & Single, SL == Slave, and CS == Cable Select.

Good to check nonetheless. 5.2 has a newer ATA driver that did change the timings and such for detection. There's a LOT of ATA devices that are really, really picky about the timing. -- Doug White | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve dwhite@gumbysoft.com | www.FreeBSD.org
