I have a 386 system with a similar setup - 200 MB IDE HD and a SCSI CD-ROM.
I haven't tried a SCSI HD or tape drive with the system; but, according to the
docs., it should work.

A 486 should not have any problems.  You just can't have two IDE controllers
in your system :-(.  I prefer SCSI because, on my system, I only have one
custom config for a HD.  Therefore, I have to use an identical drive if I want
to add a second drive.  And that is only if it will work as a slave.
