Hello all...

Using the below..

MB = M577 mb by PC Chips....
proc = AMD K6II-300 (not over clocked)
OS= win98se
HD= maxtor
CD-RW = Samsung SW-224 (24-10-40)
ZIP= internal 100 (ide)
flop= 1.4 NEC
RAM = 128
Modem= Zoom V.92
Video= ATI Rage (32 meg ... ???)

I seem to have some kind of conflict between the CD-RW and something else... I've tried looking at the IRQ's and DMA's but am not savvy enough to *know* if I've got a problem.

when inserting a CD into the drive... there is a LONG delay..
pausing the entire system... if there is an *auto-run* on the cd it doesn't "start" until I've opened another window (or maybe just after some keyboard/mouse activity??)

Suggestions..??

Thanks..!!
