My BTC 1008 solution to read, write, and bitset problems - Club CDFreaks

philkar777 · 21-03-2004

Solution:
Set drive jumper to cable select.

Problem:
Couldn't bitset
Couldn't read cdr or some pressed cds.
DVD-R and DVD-RW unreadable by other players

Hardware config: VIA bus, single 40-wire ide cable.

Hope this helps some people out there.

Gosh, this is getting stranger and stranger every day!

Everyone tells me that CS is a big no-no with this drive!

isn't good neither should be using same type cable as used by your harddrives..80pin ..

and yet by doing these things it actually got my drive working. I'm not even sure the 40/80 wire IDE cable matters for this drive. I've swapped both around with no effect. The fix was setting the jumper to CS. Probably the only way it would cooperate with my VIA bus.

Ahhhh... VIA.

Now this could explain a lot.
