A good friend told me to post my problem, he said sometimes writing the
post can clear out your mind and expose the problem. Well he was right, I
removed the Bus Mastering drivers and now can set up the CDs in any
combination I please.

Now the question is, what would give me the best performance, burner as
master and reader as slave in the same channel or another combination?

TIA
