- Quick Set-up Guide for Super Multi DVD Rewriter 1
* For Optimal 18x writing, 80 pin E-IDE cable and Pentium IV 2.4GHz or faster are
recommended.
* Using a 40-pin IDE cable might bring the '04/08/03 error (LOGICAL UNIT
COMMUNICATION CRC ERROR (ULTRA-DMA/32))'.
In this case, substitute to 80-pin type IDE cable is highly recommended.
This kind of error is hardly detected from some specific motherboard.
