Hi,
I bought an OEM Waitec WT3284EI cd-writer "fully bare", ie with no screws, no drivers, no instructions, no jumpers...
I would like to connect it to the last connector of the ide cable. I was wondering whether I need to put any jumper to set it as slave of master. The cd-rom has a jumper, set on the master pins. May you clarify a bit what this master/slave story means?
Which target ID should I expect it to have?
Thanks a lot, bye

Hello,
Master and Slave are terms used to refer the way the cd-roms are to be controlled. If you have an existing cd-rom then your new cd-writer should be put on slave. But if this is going to be your primary cd-drive then it should be set to master. Other than that you shouldn't have any problems... If your computer is pretty recent your system motherboard should detect everything properly.. I hope you understand it a little better......Good Luck! |

If i got one cd-rom and one dvd-rom, is that must set one rom to master, and another rom to slave? If i am not do the setting, can both cd-rom and dvd-rom run in properly?
And how to set the master and slave between the two...? it is using wire to set the master and slave or?? |
