I had a LS120 as slave on controller 2, It seamed to work except that the

SuperDisk was slow compared to the origanal 3.5 floppy. I just put in a
Memorex 2x2x24 CD-ReWritable Drive. To do this I had to move the
Second HD. I bumped the memory in the process. I also diconected the
SuperDisk.  Controller 1 has a WesternDigital 4.1 gig and WD 5.1 gig
drive.  Controller 2 has the Memorex Re-Writer and a 32x cd rom.
The sound card is generic with no IDE controller on it.(It has 2 Audio
inputs one for Mitsumi the other for Sony,Will the Memorex work with the
Sony input?)  Now when I Start up the Post takes three times as long
as it did before.  Plus when I click the Start button then Programs
only half of the list comes up, after 15 to 30 seconds the rest comes up.

Question, could the memory be damaged?  It counts up all the memory
but it acts like it has very little installed. Everything takes longer
than it did
before,runs sloooooow.  What else could it be?

Sorry for the long message. Hope you have enough info.

TIA
Mark
