I am interested in purchasing a 486 system and was wondering if
one could have more than one disk controller in a PC system of
different types.  For example, if the package comes with a 200Meg
IDE drive with dual FD connections, could I use another slot later
and drop in a SCSI controller in and use SCSI HD/tape drive/CD-ROM,
or would I have to remove the IDE controller & disk? This would help
me decide whether to upgrade now or later.

Thanks,

Angus
