Abit KT7A Raid IDE Query

[Guest]

Here's a strange one, I'm desperately trying to find out if the Abit KT7A Raid board can be set up in a particular configuration...

I want to have:
IDE Channel 1 - DVD ROM as a master
IDE Channel 2 - LS-120 'floppy' as a master
IDE Channel 3 - Primary Boot HDD as a master
IDE Channel 4 - Secondary HDD as a master

Does anyone know if this sort of set-up is possible?
Even leaving out the LS-120 from the equation, can a DVD or CD ROM reside on Channel 1 as a master and then use Channel 3 and Channel 4 as master HDDs??? I want to run the HDDs at their highest possible ATA rating and that means not being tied to a DVD ROM. It seems even Abit themselves may not know the answer...

Help, please, if you can...

I would advise that put the hard drives on the first channel, and the other two on the other channel.

Yes you cab use the onboard RAID controller as normal ATA100 IDE controller and you can set a CDROM as master on its own cable, you only have to select IDE3 or ATA100RAID as booting device (depends on which are the possibilties).
I have my Abit KG7-RAID set up as following:
IDE 1
Master DVDROM
Slave CDROM
IDE 2
Master CDRW
IDE 3
Master 20 GB HD RAID 0 array 1
Slave 15 GB HD
IDE 4
Master 20 GB HD RAID 0 array 1
Slave 6 GB HD.

My case has so many fans that it hovers above the ground .
