Hi, I've got a question that I'm hoping somebody in this newsgroup could help me with. Can a DVD-(re)writable drive work with any motherboard's IDE channels, or is a bios upgrade needed with some motherboards to get the DVD-writable drive to burn DVD's? Specifically, I've got an older PC (PIII 450 128MB Win98FE) with an older motherboard (Biostar M6TZA). Can I hook up any DVD-(re)writable drive up to it and be able to burn right out of the box? Thanks in advance. >> Stay informed about: can dvd-writable drives work with older motherboards?
