I have two Teac CD ROM drives ....a 6 and a 24 speed.......running off the
secondary channel of a FIC PA2007 motherboard. Either drive will work fine
as a single master. The only way they work together is with the 6 speed as
the master and the 24 speed as the slave. POST recognizes everything
correctly and running in Win95 is fine...no problems and everything is
recognized correctly.
The problem is in DOS or when trying to boot from a CD.....either when I
exit to Dos or I boot from a Win95 boot floppy and load the Teac drivers.
The drivers load ......the drives are identified and labeled 0 and 1
......no errors are reported. But only the 24 speed slave drive is seen
........ and it is assigned the drive letter that should be assigned the
six speed master TEAC.
I can access the slave by the prompt that should be assigned to the master
and although I can bring up the correct drive letter prompt for the slave I
can not access anything....I get an no drive error message.
This is or course why I can not boot from the CD.
I suspect something is wrong with either the drives or the bios / board.
Anyone see this before....or know what is causing the problem.......and
does anyone have a solution?
Thanks.
Mark
