I am considering buying a Pentium motherboard with onboard EIDE.  I
don't want the EIDE; it just seems to be included on most MB's.  I
will be getting an Adaptec 2940 SCSI adapter.  My question is: is it
possible to completely disable the onboard EIDE controller so the
IRQ's it occupies can be used by other hardware?  One of the things I
really like about SCSI is that you can use all kinds of devices all
on 1 IRQ.
 
Thanks for any help.
