DimmPC and DVD/CD drive problems

Hello!

I have a problem with a DimmPC (ElánSC520 based credit card sized PC). There are drives which cannot seen by the DimmPC in any kind of CSEL state (I mean slave or master ). Until this time, we used TEAC DV-28E-BM3 and -B93 (both worked OK) but now the TEAC came out with -CM3 and it's invisible for the PC. Another thing is that we have a Samsung drive which recognisable by the BIOS but unbootable and cannot seen under Win98.

(All these drives with the problems are slim ("laptop-type") drives...I tested with several normal form-factored desktopPC drive, and everything worked fined) Any Ideas ?

ThanX, Franzy

I know it sounds silly, but: How are these "laptop-style" devices connected to your DIMM-PC? (You're using an Kontron/Jumptec evaluation board, are you?) Could it be through an 44-pin (opposed to the "normal" 40-pin IDE-Interface) adapter? Did you feed any ground/power lines into this adapter? ;-)

HTH. Salut, Jörg
