I own a Gateway 486-DX2 ISA machine that has installed one
202 MB IDE hard disk as Disk1. I have come into possession
a Maxtor 213MB SCSI HD model LXT213SY. I would like to add this
disk onto my system. Here are a few questions I hope can be answered.

1. I know I must buy a SCSI controller board. But which one?
   I am sure this question has been beaten to death already but I
   have read too many horror stories of systems with both IDE and SCSI
   disks not being able to function together w/o being a SCSI
   interface guru. 

2. After I buy a SCSI board can I link other devices right on to it
   i.e. a CD-ROM?

3. Can a complete distinct OS's (OS2,Windows or WindowsNT, Windows)
   exist on the different disks, which would then be selected at boot time?

Thank you in advance!!!
