Thanks for the advice.
I re-configured my cables so that IDE-0 has the Hard Drive as Master, and
CD-ROM as Slave, IDE-1 has the CD-R/W.
My CD-R/W would always eject discs part way through burning if left in DMA
mode. If both CD drives are in PIO (or regular, whatever..), can the hard
drive be in DMA mode without any problem?
Cheers.
