Hi All, Just purchased a multimedia system for audio production and had RAID disabled since extra IDE busses are more valuable for these purposes. Unfortunately, I had hoped to use a CD/DVD drive here, but they only seem to like being on IDE 2 as a master. Also, there don't seem to be controllers for 3&4. Is it possible to get the OS to recognize an optical drive at these locations, or is it a characteristic of MB's in general that optical drives are only allowed on IDE 2? I'd also consider connecting to the firewire buss if there's an IDE to 1394 interface available. Thanks for any help.
