Yo, as some of you know I have been modding my Rev A iMac to use a Slot-Load DVD Drive. I got the logicboard replaced and got Mac OS 9.2.2 installed and finaly got the DVD drive mounted and working great. Only problem is I keep getting a error -127. This same error haunted me with the old logicboard before I started to mod it. I dunno if it's the CPU card or bad ram. Any ideas?

Nope, im using a 30GB drive this time. I have the Harddrive set to Master with slave present and the DVD set to Slave. If you're wondering the Hard drive im using is a Western Digital IDE ATA-66 30GB. I forgot the model number to it.

The DVD is on the same controller as the hard drive.
IDE-1 is for the TL drive and IDE-0 is for the harddrive. Since the SL and the Tray load use diffrent connections I just modded the DVD to work like a standard IDE ATAPI DVD drive like the iPC mod. Since the DVD drive only needs +5v to work I just spliced the power with the power from the hard drive molex connecter. Also I installed a standard IDE (non-ATA) cable in the system so it has two IDE connections. Typical PC stuff. Only now i'm facing a error that haunted me when I had the old logicboard and before the mod. All that hasn't been replaced is the memory and the CPU card. I have also updated the frimware to 1.2. I don;t know if I should try updating to 4.1.9 since it was made for a slot-load system.
