Use GSI Model 2C if you already have an IDE controller with 4 drives on it.
Use GSI Model 4C if  you do not any controllers.

You will need IRQ 10,11,12,14,15 free for this to work. 

If your mouse,say, is on IRQ 12, as is my case, I cannot have 2 drives there,
so I ended up with 6: two on IRQ 10, two on IRQ11, two on 14 and two on 15.
