i think a test if the second ide controller i ok would be to hang a
disk onto it and see if it works - on the other side i also got a 4x
ide cdrom only working as slave on the first controller - not as
master (and only drive at the second one) - maybe you should put the
slave disk from the first controller as master to the second and the
cdrom as slave to the first
