This is his (mike's) solution! 40 x CD-ROM setup in the BIOS to AUTO and as the primary drive for the second ide controller. He also made sure the drive was set as master. Works fine!

And just wanted to go home!! -----Original Message----- From: Bob K To: Jason Cropper Cc: Greg Quinlan ; freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Date: 10 May 1999 17:33 Subject: RE: 40 x, ATAPI CD-ROM, not detected! >Just out of curiousity, has anyone tried making it the slave and putting a >drive on the master? > >On Mon, 10 May 1999, Jason Cropper wrote: > >> We have the exact same problem with a Memorex CDROM.
