Hi, [...] >>2200S.

Leave only hard disks on the RAID array card. Most > RAID cards only want disk drives on the busses anyway. Tnx, I feared as much...:( Either way: I personally like that separation as well. I have another good Adaptec SCSI controller, but I think it's a bit a pity to 'sacrifice' that just for a DVD burner (it's currently installed in a machine I have specifically set-up as MySQL database stress tester). :P Hmmm, I wonder what good ATA options there are... Otherwise, I guess I'll simply have to add another SCSI controller. Cheers, Olafo
