The limit of no more > than two IDE devices per interface still applies, whatever you do. So is the rule here that you can add another IDE controller to a system witout problems?

This would be most benifical when I come to buy another 500+ Meg drive if I don't have an EIDE controller by then. Steve c2sj@dmu.ac.uk
