Yes, I did. And the DVD-ROM drive was the only device on that IDE channel.

Today we tried an older NEC DV-5700B DVD-ROM drive which we took out of a
Windows PC and this one works just fine in the Ultra 10 machine. The Samsung
DVD drive is now in the Windows PC and works there great too.

Thanks for the replies!
