Re: ATAPI CD-ROM connecting to sound card
Hi, Again - If you misunderstood me (I notice I used here instead of
hear, and other mistakes) -
I'll clarify:
I wish to connect my ATAPI CD-ROM to the
sound card, and connect the two hard drives normaly to my ide0
controller. i.e.: /dev/hda - Hard drive 0,
/dev/hdb - Hard drive 1,
/dev/hdc - ATAPI CD-ROM - connected to sound card's
ide port.
(I've just saw Ira's mail - he got me right).
Regards,
Yossi A.
