Quantum HD + Toshiba CD-ROM = Problem?
By herself - usenet poster
Hi,
I have a Tomcat I MB. I connected a Quantum Fireball TM 2160HD and a
Toshiba 8X CD-ROM on the primary IDE port. HD as master and CDROM as
slave. It seems those two just don't want to work together. I can't boot
the system everytime I want to iniciate both device in config.sys and
autoexec.bat. Did anyone experienced such problem?
Give me some hints.
Great thanks.

I'm running a Quantum Fireball 1280 as master on the primary ide and a
Toshiba 6X CD-ROM as master on the secondary ide with no problems.
Have you tried this type of config?

Try putting the CD-ROM on the secondary IDE port as the master. I
have a Tomcat I with a WD 1.6 gig and a Toshiba 8X CD-ROM. I tried
putting the CD-ROM on the primary slaved to the HD and it wouldn't
work. Plus the CD-ROM (if it works) will slow down your HD due to the
CD-ROM supports DMA mode 1 (11.3 MB burst transfer rate) only and
most newer HDs support DMA mode 2. (16.7 MB burst transfer rate).
What this means is that the HD can transfer data faster than the
CD-ROM.
