7) Notes
   *   It is recommended to install the CD-ROM which is not on the same
     channel with the hard drive for the performance issue.

       If you play VCD or DVD abnormally on some CD-ROM or DVD-ROM which
     is on the same channel with hard drive, we recommand you to setup
     the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM on the separatly channel.

8) Limitation
	1.Display the IDE devices with a ¡§SCSI¡¨ word head
	- Win2000 system supports the third party IDE drivers as a fake SCSI miniport 
	  driver. No wonder, even the device is a ATA/ATAPI device she will add a head 
	  mark ¡§SCSI¡¨ before the device model name so that the user will misunderstand
	  why the displayed device type is not identical to what he have. 
	  This limitation will not have any side effect to end usre.

	2.Windows 9x/ME will only support total disk size up to 128 GiB limited 
	  by the designation of FAT32 file system.
