Phil,

I may be talking nonsense, but I don't think it's configurable in Win2k.

ISTR that the "DMA enable-disable" was a cludge under Win95 to
support
poorly-written device drivers for ATAPI. In Win2k, the P2P architecture
fundamentally works, and the resource handling is managed by that (and
therefore DMA is on all the time if your driver supports it.)

Can anyone tell me how to enable DMA on my DVD ROM drive under Win2k /
Win2k
Server?

I can't for the hell of me remember where to find the checkbox.

Phil
