Hi.  I've got a new Insight 386/33 with a Conner 170M IDE (BOCA IDE card)
that won't work with ISADISK, ISADISK /b, or IDE.  Each time
after I load the .dsk file then try 'load install' I get a screenful of
'missed interupt errors.'  Install doesn't find the disk and I can get no
further.

So,  I tried the same process replacing the Conner 170 with a Samsung 100
and everything worked peachy.  From this I'm assuming that it's not the
IDE card or the Insight (who have some truly amazing prices!) computer.
Has anyone else out there tried a Conner 170M in a server?

Also, I hear a lot that IDE just isn't the way to go in a server.  SCSI is
better....  But, what is the definative word on IDEs?  I have gotten certain
brands to run flawlessly while others give me headaches.  I found the IDE.DSK
on ftp.is.sandy.novell.com - does this mean that novell now supports IDE?

Thanks for your help.

Declan
