 Does anyone know if it's possible to use an old R40 hard drive in 
a 6150 with the new APC, one E70 drive, and the Extended ESDI controller
card? Do you put the old AT fixed disk adapter card in slot 2, attach
the old "E" cable bundle, and put the R40 in slot E ? If this *is* the
way you do it, is there a DMA channel or interrupt level conflict with
the EESDI adapter in slot 1? Are there special jumper settings for the
adapter card and hard drive [other than the "slot 2" jumpers on the 
adapter card] ? I realize the R40 will be slow, but I could use the extra
storage.
