ATAPI Devices - ATA/66 IDE Card OK?

I need to add a CD-RW, and with my HD, ZIP, DVD and DVD-RW, I need to add an IDE card. Do I need an ATA/100 card, or will an ATA/66 card suffice?

>> If you but a Zip Drive on the Ribbon with the Hard Drive you will force your ATA-100 Drive to run in ATA-33 Mode.
Forgot about that...thanks. So really the way to go is to have the HD As the Primary/Master off of the motherboard, with nothing else on it.
So now I have the Secondary IDE off the motherboard, and a new Primary and Secondary IDE channels on the ATA/66 card.
I'll have a DVD-ROM, DVD-RW, CD-RW and a Zip. What do you think is the best configuration with these resources? Are the DVD-ROM, DVD-RW and CD-RW all ATA/66 or ATA/33, or am I totally missing the ball here.
Thanks for the assistance

ATAPI Devices on K8N Neo Pt. SATA Ports?

Hello,
I'm having difficulty getting any ATAPI optical drive I own to work through a PATA > SATA adapter on my K8N Neo Platinum (MS-7030) SATA ports.
I am using a Silicon Image SATALINK 3611CT80 SATA > PATA adapter to use a Lite-On LDW-811S DVD+/-RW drive, or a Lite-On 166S DVD-ROM drive. Neither one seems to work when plugged into SATA Port 1, 2, 3, or 4.
There is an indicator light on the adapter, and it flashes once when the PC is turned on (letting me know it has power) then the light shuts off and remains off (letting me no it has no link with the SATA controller). Windows recognizes either drive when it's hooked up to the adapter, however, I cannot access either drive when its hooked up to the adapter (it locks up the PC instantly)
I had no such problems using this same adapter on an Abit NF7-S 2.0 motherboard earlier, so I know the adapter is not faulty/damaged.
What I'd like to know is: does the K8N Neo Platinum support ATAPI devices (natively or through an adapter) on the SATA ports?
My system specifications:
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ (ADA3000AEP4AX / CBAPC 0404VPMW / 9814255B40259)
MSI K8N Neo Platinum (1.4 Official BIOS)
OCZ Technology 2 x 256MB Enhanced Latency Platinum Edition PC3200 Rev. 1 DDR Memory
Matrox Mystique 220 4MB VGA Videocard (temporary card during troubleshooting)
Maxtor 160GB UDMA/133 Hard Drive (Primary Master, IDE 1, only drive on cable)
Lite-On LDW-811S DVD+/-RW Drive (Secondary Master, IDE 2)
Iomega Zip 100 Insider ATAPI Drive (Secondary Slave, IDE 2)
Lite-On XJ-HD166S DVD-ROM Drive (Trying to use on ANY SATA port, Master, only drive on cable)
SinoTech CWT-550ADP Power Supply
nVidia UDP 4.27
Windows XP with SP2
Thanks for your help

Hey,
Thank you VERY much for your help. I really appreciate your help. I just heard back from MSI and they are relaying the same message you gave me (nVidia's SATA controller does NOT support ATAPI devices at this time)
I also found out that Abit's popular Serillel 2 SATA > PATA converter uses the same Silicon Image bridge chip as is found on my converter, and it states here that when hooked up to ATAPI devices these Sil3611 chips are "Compatible with SATA controller of Silicon Image on motherboard only!"
So I guess I'm outta luck on using this guy at all until nVidia changes something in their SATA implementation.
Glad to learn something, sorry to see my DVD-ROM go :( Its served me VERY well
Peace

Serial ATA to IDE Ultra ATA-100/133 Mini Converter Board~ Is it worth it???

I was considering installing a Serial ATA to IDE Ultra ATA-100/133 Mini Converter Board to run my ultra ATA devices.
Is it worth the trouble or would it bog my system down for a small increase in transfer rate????
Thanks
DD

I've got two IDE hard drives that have the converter board that plugs into SATA on my mobo. I didn't see that much of a performance gain until I went to RAID. I had IDE RAID and it worked alright. When I put the adapters on, the speed increased by at least double. I would say this is due to a more refined RAID controller, though, but it definately wouldn't hurt your performance any.

Problem with ATA 66 control card.

Hello,
I have Promise Ultra ATA 66 control card in my machine. These gave me the problem while installation saying "No disks Found". As suggested in the forum I connected the hard disk directly to the IDE and could install successfully. But when I start with Windows NT, I see the system is slow.
1. Is there any way to make it work faster?.
2. If I want to upgrade to ATA 100, could you tell me the control card that is supported by Sol8?.
Please share your experience. Your suggestions are welcome.
Thanks for your time

I haven't yet found an ATA controller card that Solaris (any version) supports.

PCI IDE Cards

I just got a good deal on a 320GB Seagate Barracuda HD. My only limitation is the 128GB limit my Mac sees it as.
After looking here: http://lowendmac.com/macdan/05/1024.html
bI figured a PCI IDE card would be the best choice for my G3. So I could split it into 2 partitions with Panther on the first partition and 9 on the second.
My question is, are the PCI cards plug and play without drivers (like the hard drive) or do I need a "Mac-Specific" card or Mac drivers to use it with my hard drive?

The 128 GB limitation applies to the onboard IDE controller, and not to an ATA-133 controller card that supports 48-bit logical block addressing, which enables recognition of large drives. If connected to an ATA-133 controller card, partitioning the 320 GB drive is your choice, although I prefer to partition larger drives for the ease/speed of routine disk maintenance. The Acard AEC-6280M ATA-133 controller card for Macs is consistently priced lowest here.
Sonnet and SIIG also market Mac controller cards, but whichever brand that you choose to purchase, it must be the Mac version, because the PC versions of these cards aren't compatible. Bootable controller cards must be firmware-based and not driver-based. The card's ROM is read at boot, so that connected drive(s) are functional. If the controller card required a driver to be read from the hard drive, the sequence for doing so couldn't occur, because the hard drive isn't recognized until the controller card (to which it's connected) is recognized.

Logic does not see my hd omni as an input device. Any ideas? I've been told to reinstall logicpro - but apple won't let me because it says its already installed on this machine.

I'm having the same issue with a file called IMG_2353.MOV that was imported into iPhoto from my iPhone and also have to manually select the items to import (so the rogue file doesn't error everything out). I've tried using Image Capture to locate/delete the file directly from my iPhone, but even though I can SEE it in Image Capture, I can't delete it or anything. This is VERY frustrating! My friend/Apple guru's only suggestion was to backup my phone then restore it through iTunes. Risky but should do the trick. I'm too scared to try, though!

Zondervan NIV Study Bible installs to device--want it to card, don't know how-Tungsten E2

I just had the Zondervan NIV Study Bible software transferred to me from a previous user who stated it isn't installed on any device. They gave me all the package and everything and I proceeded to install it last night. So this should be a legal transfer of the software under the usual EULA. But it just had a brief getting started guide included. I'm guessing that there might have been an actual user manual available for download from the website which isn't up any more--just a blank page comes up.
This has software as well as several versions of the Bible including the NIV Study Bible itself which is in 4 modules that are pretty large 2-4m. It mentioned that the Bible versions could be installed on the expansion card but didn't give any instructions how to do that.
When I started I only had about 11 MB free on my TE2. I made the mistake I guess of checking just about everything to be installed. And then there was a step which I noticed after I had clicked next (or that's when it registered in my tired brain) that I was to do the hot sync I think it was before clicking next.
Anyway, it says the software requires 500 k free memory the other stuff can be loaded to a storage card or device RAM and rquire 21MB of free memory (this is on the package not the brief instructions).
It gave me fatal errors, something about memory, probably because it was trying to install more than there was free memory in device RAM. So I had to do a soft reset several times.
I did figure out how to transfer the earlier installed Bible versions to the card and then deleted them from the device. Further hot syncs installed more stuff and then crashed again.
The 4 modules of the NIV Study Bible now show up in the window where they can be delted but they do not show up in the window to copy them to the card. I just checked again.
Also the device itself is only showing 168k of 29.7 M and I'm afraid that this isn't enough to do all that I need to do with some other previously installed large business applications which are very interactive, allowing me to take a product application on the palm, hot sync it and then update from our co website to upload and download data.
So any suggestions on how to get the large applications off the device and onto the card? Also I can't find where the stuff installed to my computer and I don't see this listed under hot sync options.
I mean maybe there is a way I could wipe it all off (but I'm a bit afraid that it might not reinstall since it does have an install key) and start over just doing part at a time, maybe just doing the NIV study Bible by itself first which is the biggest and moving it but the 4 modules are 3090,2676,2484,2918k respectively.
So any suggestions would be appreciated. I also checked Zondervan website and they don't show any Palm applications so apparently this software isn't supported any more. I think I saw a date of 2004. But the previous user said she had used it on a TE.
Palm v 4.5.2P

Thank you.
I also had tried other means of getting answers and got an even more specific answer on just how to do this. Below is the link to the actual knowledgebase article giving specific instructions since there are some files that need to be on the Palm and some on the card, etc.
http://support.laridian.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=380&ratingconfirm=...
I emailed Zondervan to see if they might be able to direct me to a downloadable manual. The referred me to laridan.com who now supports their software.
I followed the instructions, taking into account some things that were already where they needed to be, hot synced it and it seems to be working fine with 7.8 M free space on my Palm which I trust is enough for my other very large applications.
Thanks for your help!

Rentals can only play on one device/computer at a time. Have you tried to play on the computer and still have that window open?
Have you transferred the rental to iPod/iPhone or iPad to watch?
If it won't play anywhere contact iTunes support at:

Since installing iCloud, my iPhone 3GS no longer syncs with my Outlook Calendar and Outlook Contacts. I don't know what else to try, short of resetting the iPhone and completely reloading as a new device. Any ideas, anyone?

It's good to know. The Apple instructions for loading iCloud on a PC just seem to have either overlooked or hidden this limit. The larger problem is that it partially works: partially and erratically. So clean-up is great fun.

You may have done this, but I'd try the home button/power button shutdown first....it sounds like it is hung up in the "boot" process somehow...if that doesn't work as paulcb said, recovery mode may be the only option..I suppose you could also try and let the battery fully discharge...

Did you connect your iPad to your computer then open the application on your computer that transfers photos from a camera? Your computer should recognize the iPad as a camera. All photos in the Camera Roll on the iPad should then be seen and you should be able to copy them to the computer using that application.
Photos that were synced to your iPad by connecting to your syncing computer cannot be copied back this way as the master file for those photos are on the syncing computer.

My Mac Mini will charge - but not sync with - USB-connected devices (ipod, camera, memory card reader). How do I fix it?

My Mac Mini will charge - but not sync with - USB-connected devices (ipod, camera, memory card reader). I have tried unplugging the devices, restarting the computer, selectively unplugging and plugging in the devices, closing and opening the relevant applications (iTunes, iPhoto, etc). I have tried using different USB cables.
It's like all of a sudden the synching service stopped functioning or recognizing these devices for some reason. The other ports work just fine (monitor).
The only USB-connected external device that appears to be unaffected is the USB SuperDrive and it works on all the USB ports into which I plug it.
How do I fix this?

Open Console in Applications>Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens or doesn't happen.

No idea at all, it might help if you gave more information, what type of mail, who provides it, any error messages etc.

What are the Processor, Operating system, hard drive device, Total Memory, Network card, System Graphics of the Silver ipad air

what are the Processor, Operating system, hard drive device, Total Memory, Network card, System Graphics of the Silver ipad air?

"Memory" in this case means RAM, the working space for the processor in the iPad. It is different from storage space, the latter being what is referred to by the "32GB", "64GB" etc. specification.
Regards.
