This mobo's IDE connector does not support ATAPI drives. Can someone help me to find a DVD RW that is NOT ATAPI? I cannot find one.

Thanks!!

ONE of the connectors doesnt support ATAPI drives.

The ICH7R IDE connector DOES so you can have 2 DVD drives here, and 2 hard disks on the other.

You can use an SATA DVD±RW drive like the Plextor PX-760SA.

My old drive, a Sony DRU-510A, worked fine on the controller that didnt support ATAPI drives.
