hi ya mark
- check your cables... keep it straight as reasonably possible
- use the short ata-66/100 ide cables ( 18" or less )
- cables should have ground between the signals
80 conductors vs 40...
- use one disk per cable... do NOT mix and match ide speeds
ata-33 on one cable
ata-66 on a different cable
ata-100 on a 3rd cable...
... dont mix um up....
- since its the cdrom that is timing out... its probably that
the system is talking ot it at ata-66/100 speeds insteadof ata-33
c ya
