No, the ultra wide controller will not work with the Pinnacle Micro RCD drives because you cannot set the DMA Data Transfer rate to 5MB/Sec, the lowest rate that the wide controller can be set to is 10MB/sec. The controller will seem to work but if you are doing a large CD burn you will get a buffer underrun error due to the DMA Data Transfer miss match.
