i have atholon 1700 xp
ecs motherboard
512 ddr ram
2 x liteon 24 speed writers masters both on single channels connected to the motherboard ide .
hard drive ibm 30 gig conected as master and a liteon 163 dvd reader conected as master to promise ultra 100 x2 (on seperate CABLES)
all works fine can burn at full speed to both writers at the same time .
now i got a 105 pioneer for xmas i have tried adding it as slave on the promise it will only write at 2 speed if i put it on the promise as master on its own it only writes at 2 speed.THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET IT TO WRITE AT 4 SPEED IS TO TAKE OF ONE OF MY 24 SPEED WRITERS AND ATTACHED IT TO THE MOTHERBOARD IDE . im thinking of buying a new ide pci card but which one ,it seems this one is not fast enough .any help thanks in advance
