Hi. Thanks for your reply. As noted in another post, the problem
ended up being between keyboard and chair -- the drive that was by
itself on the second channel should have been jumperless, rather than
jumpered "master".
I'm curious about your comment about it not being good for the DVD-ROM
to be master on the first channel. Why is that a bad idea? I know
it throttles down the speed of any HD on the same channel; is there
some other effect if it's on the first channel? (I can't get away with
giving it its own channel -- with no slave -- right now, as I have
drives I need to attach to this new system and so I need that slave
port)
