Configuration Question

#1 September 21st 03, 06:03 PM

I have the following:

120GB HDD as Primary Master
40GB HDD as Primary Slave
DVD ROM as Secondary Master

I have no floppy drive and my CD Writer is an external SCSI.

I will be getting a Pioneer 106 dvd writer next week.
Where is the best place to hook up this baby?

Thank you.

I'd say the Secondary Master. Shift the DVD ROM to be the Secondary Slave.

No problem. I say that because the DVD writer is a slower device and needs
more priority on the chain. The DVD ROM is a faster device and it doesn't
necessarily need top priority.

Thanks again. I just learned something. Have a good night.
