That's exactly why I do it. I think it depends on the age of the CD-ROM. My CD-ROM is a 44-speed from when 44-speed drives were quite new and the box I was putting it in was a 486. It uses the mmc2 revision of SCSI emulation. I've tried a couple of other drives which use the later mmc3 and they rip OK as ide-scsi. So maybe this is the cause, although I haven't been able to try any other mmc2 drives to confirm it. Pigeon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
