This is/should be a FAQ question, but since I couldn't find a FAQ....

I have a Magnavox 386sx/16 with an 80mb IDE drive.

My CMOS setup has selections for 2 IDE drives, the second is set at 
[none].

Can I just hook up another IDE drive and change the CMOS, or do I have to 
bother with the master/slave problems I've read about?
