I have found through trial and error that the only way to get 2 hard
drives and an atapi cd-rom is to have the cd-rom on the Master slave.
Anywhere else and it won't be found. This is my current
setup and it is working fine:
Master primary- 540Mb Seagate IDE
Master slave- ATAPI CD-ROM
Secondary master- Western Digital 1.6Gb IDE
Secondart slave- OPEN
I hope this helps,
Ken
