Your best chances are if you run the drive as the slave on your primary controller, behind your Connor drive. Stick these in your kernel config file: options ATAPI #Enable ATAPI support for IDE bus options ATAPI_STATIC #Don't do it as an LKM device wcd0 #IDE CD-ROM The Goldstars are _very_ picky drives.
