Cendyne CDRW Install Problem - Help Please!

[Bink]

Hi,

I am installing the Cendyne 32x12x40 CDRW for a friend and it appears to be slow. She has a Dell P2 400MHz, Win 98, and I set up the CDRW as master on the secondary channel, with a Zip drive as slave. The hard drive is the primary master. DMA has been enabled.

When I try copying a CD (music), it takes over 5 minutes to read, using the supplied Nero software - I thought this number was low. When I ran the Nero CD speed, I got a 26x average.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance

Bink

Audio extraction or DAE takes longer than file extraction.

just out of curiousity, try it again but with the zip drive disconnected.
only suggesting this as I suspect that the m/board may be an old model & the devices on one channel may run at the speed of the slower device ie the zip drive. newer boards don't have this problem!
