|Most of the CDROM drives I've come across have 3 settings, labelled MA,

No labels on any of the pins, no documentation pasted on the top or bottom
of the drive, no manual, nothing.   As you, this is the first CD-ROM drive
I've ever seen without any docs or labels.  Tomorrow, I'll try to google
the CD-ROM's manufacturer's name to see if there's a website with the
needed docs.


Update on Jan. 4, 2004 - I checked the website for the CD-ROM.  The jumper
was set to CS, so I changed it to Master.  There was no change in the
symptoms.  The timeout problem with the tertiary IDE controller still
exists, yet it runs fine on the secondary IDE controller.
