I recently replaced my old Teac 4x2x32 with a new LiteOn 40125w. My old Teac happily shared IDE channel with an old Maxtor 1.1gb disk (I use that disk to transfer data between computers I don't have network access to. Yes, it is the only way for me atm).
The LiteOn does not like to share the IDE channel. I tried switching between master/slave/cable select. But it only results in the cdrw not willing to burn nor read more than the first file/folder on cds!
Is there any other solution than buying an extra IDE controller? the cdrw does a great job as long as the hdd isn't connected.
