One of the Gateway P5-100s here at the office has an IDE CD-ROM hung off its secondary IDE port, and a WD Caviar HD on the primary IDE port. I've had no problems using 32-bit disk access but I have used `WDCDRV' rather than the vanilla WDCTRL driver. The former is (quite) heavily based upon the latter, so you'll probably have no problems with either. +---------------------------+--------------------------+ | Mike Granby | Tel +44 (0)1246 45 45 65 | | Paradigm Controls Limited | Fax +44 (0)1246 45 47 67 | +---------------------------+--------------------------+ | mikeg@paracon.demon.co.uk | | +---------------------------+--------------------------+
