IDE third channel
 |
Currently I have three IDE channels. The first two are ATA 100, the third is 133. Ideally, I wanted to use the third channel for my two HD's (which are IDE133 compatible) yet when I built the system I could not get it to work. I ddin't mind and simply connected the HD's to the first channel.
However, I now have a 5 IDE devices, so I need to use the third channel. I would like to connect the two HD's to the third channel, and use the burners on one channel and the CD drive on another - but it just doesn't work.
I've updated the drivers. Swapped the devices around numerous times but I just can't get it to work.
Any suggestions?
Its a AOPEN 4XPE Max M/B.

Looking at the Aopen website, they don't list a model motherboard by that name. Can you re-confirm that? Also, are you sure it's not a floppy port?
