You will need to get an IDE drive card. Your BIOS should be new enough (especially since the IDE interface is "supposed to" look like the ST506 "mostly". (There can be some "gotchya's here - but not usually). Cards which only support two drives and two floppies can be gotten for between $25 and $50. With the addition of a pair of serial ports, a printer port, and a game port , a local outlet here sells a card for $68. I've even heard of ones that support two hard drives and four floppies. I second the advice to call Hard Drives International. /s/ Bob
