	What if I've got a built in EIDE controller (built into a PCI mb) and try to add a scsi interface card and drive.  Would it work and how would I go about configuring it. 

	Is there any advantege in running a scsi if I'm running DOS (16-bit, not multitasking)?  

	Is the scsi for a Pentium(and up) the same as 486?
	
	(Slightly off thread here).  Why doesn't 32-bit file access work for me?  I HAVE (device = ifhelp.sys) in my config.sys.  (someone mentioned that it was needed to work) but my computer wouldn't load WFW 3.11 when the 32-bit file access iss on.

	Thanks.

	Dan
