Once I found that placing a cd or dvd on the same cable as a HD made the later not use ATA100 mode. I would check if the ZIP drive makes the CD go slower, just in case. Otherwise, I think you configuration is fine. If you have cables to spare, perhaps placing the HD on separate cables could make them go faster. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
