Q: I noticed that my Pioneer 16x DVD drive performs very bad.
My TDK CDRW 12/10/32x much better performance when reading CDs only explorer.
I also noticed that when I started, the table appears, displaying information system contains two different things about the connection for these devices. It looks like this:
Primary Master: ATA/100 u003c-this is a hard disk
Primary Slave: u003c ATA/33-this is the DVD
Secondary Master: Mode4 u003c-this is the CDRW
Secondary Slave: u003c ATA/33-this is a hard disk
Shouldnt both drives using ATA/33 or Mode4? Is this the reason there is such a performance and reading the difference between the two? The pioneer is hard, very hot, and just read slowly. Is there a way to replace Mode4 ATA/33? Any help would be appreciated.

Re:Yes it works. Without the jumper it boots up showing PIO 4. With the jumper it boots up showing ATA33. As far as the difference I couldn't tell you. I haven't done any tests.

Re:Here is how to change your CDRW PIO 4 to ATA33.
On the back of the drive there are 2 pins on the far left looking at it from the back. They might be labeled 'Reserved'. Put a jumper on those pins and your drive is now ATA33.

Re:Mode4 is programmed I/O mode 4, that uses a fair bit of CPU time when doing I/O operations. You want your DVD ROM in DMA (ATA) mode. DVDs will play horridly if you don't. A DVD ROM is suppose to be in ATA33 mode…I have the 10x Pioneer drive. Sounds like their might be something wrong with your drive…
