    Source and destination of IDE Buses are the same!!!

    The best I can offer on this limited amount of info is that it sounds like it's telling you that your CD-ROM source drive is on the same channel of your IDE controller as the CD writer is on....meaning you have both drives as master and slave on one channel(i.e. the secondary master and...

    Is there a sound card w/ 1/4" Inputs?

    or a very cheap alternative would be to purchase a 1/8" extension cord. If you used an extension from the card and plugged the adapter and mic into the extension cord, then the weight of the apparatus would no longer be hanging on the sound card jack. The extension would only need to be...

    cd re-writer question

    CD-RWs do not require formatting. Formatting is only needed when you desire to use the CD in the same way as a floppy disk or a hard drive, being able to copy in Explorer via Direct CD software. You can use a CD-RW with the Adaptec Easy CD Creator software in exactly the same way you write to a...

    How do I set an un-jumpered modem to different settings?

    I would definitely advise the purchase of a "real modem" as you so elegantly put it. The Rockwell HCF modem you have is a purely software based modem and for the most part software modems cannot be used with any other OS aside from Windows(hence we get the name "Winmodem")...
