Cheers mate!

I've got that setup atm, but it does have a few quirks, due to the delay 
caused by accessing the cd burner or the dvd-rom drive. I didn't have hte 
problems before, and I notice ni the xconsole (a SuSE thing that says system 
info, very handy), I get Bad CRC check messages, which I never had before 
when the two cd-rom drives were on the same, secondary channel. Has anyone 
else got any thoughts to throw into this, or is it a case of problem 
solvered, I should stick with my current setup?
