[ILUG] [Slightly OT] UDMA Controllers

[david_hamilton3 at hp.com]

If you check my original message, you'll see that when I try this solution 
it reports that my CDROM is not ATAPI compliant.
My motherboard also detects the dimensions of the UDMA66 drive 
incorrectly....(it adds one extra cylinder)
I assure you that all of my master/slave jumpers are set correctly.
I'll give compu$tore in Sandyford a shout and see if they have a 
controller in stock.
Thanks,
	David.

The motherboard should have two IDE connectors. Put the Maxtor UDMA66 on
the first one - alone. Then put the UDMA33 and CDROM on the second IDE.
Make sure that you have the master/slave settings right. I use a Maxtor
UDMA66 as the primary hd on this box and have a UDMA33 and CDROM (DVD)
on the secondary. The only real change I had to make as regards BIOS was
that the HD spec was set to Auto. This is essential on large drives.

IDE0 ------ UDMA66 (master)------
IDE1 ------ UDMA33 (master) ----- CDROM (slave)
