No labels on any of the pins, no documentation pasted on the top or bottom of the drive, no manual, nothing. As you, this is the first CD-ROM drive I've ever seen without any docs or labels. Tomorrow, I'll try to google the CD-ROM's manufacturer's name to see if there's a website with the needed docs. | |> > have you replaced the cable? |> |> I just replaced the cable with another, and I saw the same symptoms. |> Additionally, the previous cable has worked fine on FreebSD 4.9 and RH |> Linux 8.0 (can I say that here) when the CD-ROM is plugged into the |> tertiary IDE controller.

There's a LOT of ATA devices that are really, really picky |about the timing. Interesting that 5.2 works when the drive is plugged into the secondary IDE controller, but not the tertiary IDE controller. Whatever the problem is, it is right on the ragged edge of being "in tolerance".
