Cheeky, *OFF TOPIC* >> Andy, I have read a number of articals on IDE CDR's and the recommend your second CDROM be a SCSI. If not then have your CDR as a master on the secondary IDE controller, and the CDROM a slave on the primary IDE controller. << Yes, when the CD-ROM and CDR/CDRW share the same EIDE channel, there is a high risk of buffer-underrun. In terms of burning, it is a better idea to have the CD-ROM and CDR/RW installed on different EIDE channels (don't forget to turn on dual-FIFO if you are using Win95A or less). This is especially true if you are using a so-so burning software or a CDR/RW with small cache. One significant drawback, your HDD may be slowed down by the slave device. This is a big disadvantage of EIDE and this is also why I said I will like to see a 4 channels EIDE design in the future. Now back to my original statement. You shouldn't have any problem with your HP 7200i and your EIDE CD-ROM because the 7200i and Easy CD Creator 3.01b is perfect match. I never have any problem with my Mitsumi 12X and HP 7100i both installed on the secondary channels. Although the Mitsumi is not very good doing DAE. So I cannot do on-the-fly burning on CD-DA like you. About 10MB Zip disk: Read my previous post for the reason. aC
