Many thanks for your reply, Alan, sorry I couldn't answer sooner.
Re: Question 2), could you advise me, privately, how to set up these
two devices. I'm aware of the Master/Slave necessity, but can't get
CD0: Unit whatever recognised.
Both drives will be external and powered by an ex PC 250w PSU.
Thanks also to Bent Hansen and Mike O'Hara for your replies.
BTW, Questions 1) and 2) are unrelated.

Tom Bailie.
