Hi all Iyonix PCers,
If you have two hardrives, one CDRW and one DVDRW what is the
best way of connecting them?
Reading past posts, there seem to be two possibilities:
IDE bus 0 (primary) IDE bus 1 (secondary)
Master Slave Master Slave
A) Main Hard Drive CDRW Second HD DVDRW
B) Main Hard Drive Second HD CDRW DVDRW
Main Hard Drive = the one Nixiyo boots from.
Which is best?
Or are there other better or equally good connections (there can
be at most 3 other possibilities according to past posts)?
In case anyone asks, I have spent an hour looking at various web
sites (including Iyonix Ltd's sites, Paul Vigay's sites and
Iyonix-support archives). In one past thread it is claimed that B)
works, but I have found nothing else answering precisley this
question.
Cheers, Dave Lane
