It seems that all I needed to do was to reboot. All drives are
now working (keep keys crossed, touch metal case or whatever you
do in the computer world to wish for continued success). Even after
a reset, all drives worked -- one past poster said that this didn't
work for him.
So, to summarise for Iyonix PCers who might want, or have, a second
HD plus DVDRW drive the following connection works on Nixiyo:
IDE bus 0 (primary) IDE bus 1 (secondary)
Master Slave Master Slave
Main Hard Drive Second HD DVDRW CDRW
Main Hard Drive = the one Nixiyo boots from.
Then main HD and the CDRW are the original ones fitted by Castle,
the second HD is a Maxtor Diamond Plus 9 80GB ATA/133 and the
DVDRW is a LITEON SOHW-1693S23C.
Perhaps this will be useful in someone's database of combinations
that work?
Thanks to Druck, Steven Pampling, John Williams and John B. for
help.
Cheers, Dave Lane
