Thumbs up

Well I got an Iomega CD-RW and I am deeeelighted. The quality is first rate, the Adaptec software is brilliant and it only cost £135 inc VAT. www.jungle.com

But now I have another problem I hope someone can help me with.

I have a SuperMicro m/b and I have, with the CD-RW four devices, inc two hard drives and another CD-ROM. BUT.....I have an Iomega Zip drive which I wish to keep. I bought an IDE controller card, a recommendation by Iomega, but the puter doesn't see it. One says I can't expect to use it, one says I can, one says I have to have a spare IRQ - I have two - 5&7.
But thre NO drivers with the card, normal apparently, as it it is supposed to be a P&P.
BIOS connections seems to be OK and set to see any other devices.

I know someone will say why do I want my Zip drive and the answer is I have a lot of data I need - on 12 disks (1200mb.

I can use it if I disconnect the CR-RW and re-connect the Zip - just as though nothing happened!

Any ideas anyone.?
