just installed a lite-on..... (settings?)

[edm]

40x12x48x burner. Everything went smooth, but was wondering about the settings:

DMA on/off?
& disconnect on/off?

I looked thru the supplied manual but it doesn't mention these. The default has them both on, but I thought I recalled reading both should be disabled on a cd-recorder?

I use cdrwin, cdclone, and NERO

thanks

System:

ECS K7S5A
Athlon Thunderbird 1.4
256 DDR
40 gig Western digital ATA.100
Lite-ON 40x12x48x
Toshiba DVD drive
Geforce 2 GTS 32MB
SB Live Value

DMA on/off?

On

disconnect on/off?

Sorry, not sure. I'm not at my home pc right now. Where is this option located?

u can leave both on, BUt DMA must definately be on, or you will see a major cpu pulling when burning a CD...

as for the disconnect... it isn't neccessary but, you can leave that one on...

Congrats on a nice, speedy burner.!
