Hello,
    I have a 386sx 16MHz PC with IDE built into the motherboard.  Someone is
giving me an ESDI Hard Disk.  Can my current IDE drive and this new drive
co-exist in the same machine?  I realize that I will probably have to get
a controller card for the ESDI drive.  Is there a particular card that makes
it possible to use both drives?  I have heard from someone that ESDI & IDE
can't work together.  I hope that this is not the case.  Thanks in Advance
for your help!
