Hi Craig, Sorry, but I think you misunderstood me: I used the MTMCDE driver without the DMA (Setting /T:S) then the driver runs *only* via Interrupt. The MTMCDS is a polling driver – I *never* used this because lack of speed. And this ^ shows me that there is a problem with DMA… Maybe the freaks at Mitsumi just convertet the driver from the old CRMC and made a few changes – but their new drives are a little bit faster and there a timing problems with the DMA transfers. And as I need the problem solved – my 7th Guest is running well with the DMA *enabled* only (when it works sometimes) – and I love 7th guest. So I hope that there will be a new driver shortly otherwise I must search all my money an buy such a Toshiba Double Spin Drive… Erik
