YES - right now I am using a Future Domain SCSI card (TMC-1660) with a MAXSTOR SCSI drive and the SUPIO IDE card with a CONNOR IDE drive. I think ESDI is basically similar. OS/2 is working fine with this setup. I have never set it up to boot from the SCSI drive. IS this possible - has anyone tried booting from a SCSI with an IDE drive also? > >Thanks for the info. > >Keith Teague John Lautmann jlautmann@mt1.m4.metaphor.com
