Afternoon all,

A little query please if I may tap into the "Demon Knowledgebase"...

I have been tasked with purchasing a CD ROM & Soundcard for a friends 
'youngun for Christmas.

4 x CD ROM - no particular type but limited budget that also has to 
include soundcard. My plan to purchase at local computer "mart" this 
weekend.

Query....4 x CD ROm is going to be IDE I assume. The machine in 
questions serial card has one fixed IDE drive which I assume will drive 
two IDE devices, one HD + the upcoming CD ROm. 

Is fitting a IDE CD Rom rather like adding a second drive - I have to 
configure the HD as a Master while the CD ROM becomes a slave ?

Could I use a serial card (I have a spare not being used 2 IDE interfaces 
for 4 x IDE devices) and not have to configure the HD as master.

Perhaps if I had upgraded my single speed Philips drive I would have 
gone through this before !
 
Thanks in advance for any help / advice.
