It's not an IDE thing, it's a CDROM thing. Some just don't want to be masters. I don't know why they even have jumpers. Others are OK being masters. I think most recent drives can handle being masters, but I could be wrong. In my experience it's pretty much a toss-up whether a given drive will work when jumpered as master. noah -- _______________________________________________________ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html
