I've previously run FreeBSD 2.1.0, but was never able to get the o/s to see the drive connected in this manner either... Is this possible ? Or am I just going to have to put the CD drive on one of my motherboard's (already full) IDE interfaces ? Please mail me at : Mark.Jones@simple.demon.co.uk Thanks in advance. Mark.
