is this the one for another internal dvd burner and internal hard drive?

[Chewy]

controller card for hard drives, but I don't think you have space for another hard drive(floppy space?)

but both internal burners would be standalone master

can I replace the floppy space for another hard drive? I can make the floppy become external.

Thanks

if it fits then the real issue will be the power supply.

should work as long as you don't try to cram 3 burners in the case too

I hope you build the next one yourself in a regular tower
Mine has places for 6- 3 1/2 drives and 4 optical drives

Thanks, But I think my kids may have to take that as a challenge,

Question? if I want to add just one more internal DVD burner, the card you gave above should be enough? should I add more Ram when I have chance, and what type of Ram should I put in, I read 2 gig is max but I know you know alot about this.

Thanks

for that computer just run lean and mean and stay at 512, not a multitasker or gamer, just a lean clean burning/scanning machine with a little transcoding
thrown in. shrink won't ever touch above 512, not sure rebuilder has to have it either.

For vista get 4 gigs with the ability to add another 4

I will look at it when I am back Then I will ask again thanks

I hook up as master and slave but now I can't change the slave dma on?

Why.? the comp. also have another slot for extra hard drive, the power conection is there but the jumper cable is not like dvd cable ( no extra) for slave

[drfsupercenter]

Dell likes to do that, the new HD should come with a cable, if not buy one for about 2 bucks.

[NightTran]

do you know about that dma off for the slave? how do I turn that on

Thanks

[Chewy]

dell uses cable select a lot, you might have mixed jumper settings

you do know how to set jumpers?

both drives can be set for cable select
or one drive master the other slave

[drfsupercenter]

Just unscrew the mounting thing for the HD and change the pin to slave. IIRC that is no jumper, as in all open.
