|  My Iomega Zip 100mb drive was assigned the letter "B" as a floppy drive. Was that correct? Attempts to try to reassign the letter to "E" (the way it was on my old mobo) has failed. Also, I know DMA was talked about somewhere else but should I check the DMA box in the system properties / device manager for any of my drives? None of them have them checked: Primary Master: Maxtor DiamondMax45 - 30GB 7,200rpm ("C" drive); Primary Slave Creative Labs PC-DVD Dxr2 (5x) ("D" drive); Secondary Master Iomega CDRW 12x10x32 ("F" drive); and Secondary Slave Iomega Zip 100mb ("B" drive). What are pros and cons of checking DMA box? Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks. Ed |

| Your drives would definately benefit from DMA enabled. Hard drive in particular. Don't about the Zip though. ddd |
