Hi,

All 4 drives now work after power on, with the following arrangement.

        IDE bus 0 (primary)                IDE bus 1 (secondary)
     Master            Slave            Master            Slave

   Main Hard Drive     DVDRW           Second HD          CDRW

For the record:

The main HD and the CDRW are the original ones fitted by Castle 
(first batch of Iyonix PCs in 2002), the second HD is a Maxtor 
Diamond Plus 9 80GB ATA/133 and the DVDRW is a LITEON SOHW-1693S23C.

Perhaps this will be of help to others contemplating having these 
drives.

Also, it is easier to fit the cables round each other if at least 
one of them is a round cable (as opposed to a flat ribbon cable).

Cheers, Dave Lane
