Re: ISAPNP SB16 card with IDE interface

[jbradford@dial.pipex.com]

Hi,

Are you sure that the CD-ROM drive is jumpered correctly, because Windows may well not complain if it is set to 'slave', but alone on the bus.

Also, maybe I'm just being stupid, but why is it being recognised as ide3?  The numbering starts at 0, so if this is your third interface, it should be ide2.  Could you post a less-trimmed copy of your dmesg output to the list, (or just to me, if it'll annoy the list people).

Cheers,

John.
