NEC ND-3520A DVD/RW
Trying to install the NEC ND-3520A from Newegg into my dimension 4500. The unit came OEM-no documentation. When I removed the Samsung burner and installed the NEC DVD burner all the other drives are unrecognized. In addition to the Samsung burner I have a Liteon DVD ROM installed in the top bay with a Iomega zip 100. Those drives are the lost ones referred to when I installed the NEC. As soon as I replaced the Samsung back in all was well again. The NEC does not even have a "driver or firmware update". I sure have been striking out. Any thoughts or experiences. Thanks.

Hi Brigadoon,
Double check your jumper settings, Dell uses the Cable Select jumper feature, set the jumper on the NEC to CS and try again.
Click on the CD/RW link in my post and scroll to Section 4.
Best Regards
God, grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway,
the good fortune to run into the ones I do and the eyesight to tell the
difference.

Hi Brigadoon,
I found a very nice Full review of this drive here:
http://www.cdrinfo.com/Sections/Reviews/Specific.aspx?ArticleId=12314
If you scroll down, you should find the information on the next diagram picture after the back view of the drive; CSEL (Cable Select) is on the left # (1); Slave is in the middle # (2); Master is on the right # (3)
Best Regards
