I have installed a Promise Ultra100 with a ATA100 hard drive. I tried to attach my rather old CDROM drive to the same cable but it just lay there and whimpered when I tried to access it. (More precisely the drive spun up and activity light flashed but nothing much else happened.) Does anyone know, should I expect this from an older drive? Will newer CDROM drives perform correctly on this controller? What should I look for in the drive specifications before I buy a new drive? BTW, I have these lines in my kernel config: # ATA and ATAPI devices #device ata0 at isa? port IO_WD1 irq 14 #device ata1 at isa? port IO_WD2 irq 15 device ata device atadisk # ATA disk drives device atapicd # ATAPI CDROM drives #device atapifd # ATAPI floppy drives #device atapist # ATAPI tape drives #options ATA_STATIC_ID #Static device numbering options ATA_ENABLE_ATAPI_DMA #Enable DMA on ATAPI devices Thank you, Rob.
