Since your motherboard is 1989 vintage, your BIOS probably is, as well. To use an IDE drive, you will need to replace the BIOS with one dated 4/90 or later. And, you will need an adaptor card (only about $20 for single hard drive, $50 for dual hard drive/dual floppy.) Advice: Dump your "salesman" and call Hard Drives Intl 1-800-234-3475. Good service, excellent prices, very knowledgeable salespeople. They don't sell BIOS, you will have to look to other companies for that. Disclaimer: No relations with HDI, just a satisfied customer. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Roy Schmidt | #include <disclaimer.h> Indiana University | /* They are _my_ thoughts, and you can't Graduate School of Business | have them, so there! */
