The DMA is not working with the mouse... i assumed.

But The DMA function does works..
Using XingMpeg Playback...
The Disc Access rate has increased by 5X
Thus the frame rate increased by 6fps

I'm using standard serial mouse driver or Microsoft Serial Mouse driver.
Both stopped working when I browse the content of CD using Explorer.
Though after the mouse pointer stopped at a location on the screen... the
system still works flawlessly. No hangups.

I would like to know what had caused the mouse to hang.. i/o, irq conflicts
etc
Anyone else here have similar problem?
I'll try tweaking those ide settings/change drivers later...

Best Regards,
