It's an ISA and I have it running a 4x CD-W and a 16x CD-R. The HD is on
a typical VLB IDE. Maybe I setup the 1540's onboard bios wrong but
there's so little to go wrong since there's a sticker with the switch
settings on the foil side. I have it set to termination and syncro.
Maybe it shouldn't? What are the optimal settings for SCSI as far as
CD's are concerned?
