You might try and switch the device order, (it doesn't matter if the Overlord or Subject are in order on the cable)

So do you mean, switch it so that the DVD is the master? Or do you mean physically switch the positions of the drives so that disk drive falls at the end of the cable chain (currently it's in the middle)?

Heh, I guess I could try both.

I didn't realize IDE had "termination". I would have expected this with a SCSI drive, but not an IDE drive.
