That was the problem! This is the first machine I bought assembled, and I hadn't noticed that the CD/DVD cables were the old 40 wire cables. I do hope this is the last of the problems. Thanks guys! Changed the cable, and speed went up from 3.3 to 19MB/s (probably limited by the older harddrive too)... Thas was spectacular! Of course, now DMA didn't switch off either. Cheers, John
