I installed my new motherboard and everything appears to be working fine EXCEPT my Kenwood Cd-Rom drive. I have 2 CD's, that one and a HP 9350i Cd-RW Drive. The HP is Master on secondary IDE, the Kenwood is slave on the Secondary IDE. I installed all of the drivers for the new motherboard from the disk, including the Intel® Ultra ATA Storage Driver. My Kenwood CD-ROM is not being recognized as an UDMA CD-ROM. As a result, it is very slow -- I cannot copy cd-rom cd becuase the cd-rom is too slow. I looked at the device in BIOS and it showed UDMA as disabled. I enabled it, but still not recognized as UDMA. With this board and controllers, I do not have a box to check under properties for the devices to enable DMA. I think the super ata controller software must be doing that. Whn I run Intel Ultra ATA Companion it tells me that all of my other devices are DMA but not my Kenwood.

I am running Windows 98 with a P3 700, Asus Geforce 2 GTS vidoe and SB LIve Gamer sound card. ATA 100 20 gig hard drive as master on Primary and ata 33 10 gog hard drive as slave on primary ide.

I do not, but when I read their description AND WARNINGS, I was afraid to try it since my problem is not described as a reason to update. :(
