QCDROM picked up only the SATA, and only if it was loaded first. And I still needed XCDROM for the PATA. And I never got SHSUCDX to pick them up. UIDE seems to work. It loads 7104, all upper. And both drives read. Ray ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
