I have two IDE's, both from the same manufacturer, and that required
setting jumpers for master and slave.  There was no problem in doing that. 
The problem I had (and still do) is how to get the drive light to show. 
The IDE adapter card has a 4 pin connector, and no matter what position
the plug (a thin, two hole thing) is in the drive light stays out,
regardless of the amount of disk activity.  

I'd like some help, too.
