ide problem

[igueths at attbi.com]

Ok ide problem fixed. Turns out that the Cd drive was not in CSEL mode like the 
other drive had been before I swapped it out. I was having a sighted person 
help me with this, and it didn't occur to me that this could be the problem. 
Just for reference, is there any type of standard pin configuration? I.e., 
master, slave, CSEL, etc? I would think this is highly unlikely, however when I 
want to swap in/out some hardware, I want to be able to do it with nobody 
around.
