Installation:
Installation was easy. I enabled Master jumper on the rear panel (i putted
it Master on Second IDE channel). After boot CD Rom intentified as CD-532E-A
from BIOS into Dos & as Teac 532E-A in Windows.
DMA checked off auto from Windows since it isn't Ultra DMA compartible. I unchecked Auto Insert notification and reboot. Since the CD Rom had 1.0A firmware I updated it with latest version 3.0A. All was set and time to start tests..
