Anyone help w/controller question? The BH6 manual says that in order to fully support a DMA harddrive one has to install the IDE Bus Master software off their CD. I have such a HD, a Maxtor 8 gig 2880, which is a DMA drive so I tried to install the software and couldn't. I got a message that said "In order to install this software you must have Win95 and a PIIX Bus Master IDE controller." I'm running Win98 (don't know if this matters) but don't know what the latter refers to, and don't know if I'm getting DMA performance from the HD or not...the MB manual would suggest not. Any feedback appreciated. Dave
