There is a problem here.  1st there should not be a pio4 and dma100 on 
the same cable, the pio4 mode is on only there because it is not 
working, the spec say no mode mixing like this.  Try the cdrom on the 
second ide able, it should be atleast UDMA33, I have a liteon so I know 
it should be at least this fast.  You may have the drive jumpers set to 
2 masters or something?  Any way having the drives on there own cables 
is much faster anyway.
