Hi,
I've just got my mits on an ATA133 controller card, for my new Maxtor d740x HDD.
My Question is this..
The ATA controller card still allows the use of my older on-board ATA controller at the same time giving a possible of 8 ATAPI drives.
I have the following ATAPI devices:
Panasonic DVD CD-ROM drive
HP 8200a CDRW drive
Maxtor D740X HDD
Would setting all 3 devices as MASTER cause any improvement (one on motherboard controller, two on the ATA133 controller card-has 2 ports like motherboard) or will this cause problems.?
Why?.....
One of my onboard controllers is fuked!.. gives only PI0!!!!..dunno what happened! so I only can have 2 ATAPI devices running off my motheroard instead of 4.
Any advice please
