Well i have 2 harddisks in my machine and the PCI controller wont allow
more, what I had to do to get the  Mitsumi quad to work was to buy the
mitsumi special interface, its only a IDE controller thats works in tandem
with any already installed cards!, cost me 13pounds + vat and it'll work
with any harddisk (IDE is the same no matter what), so now i have 2
harddisks and a cd-rom plus a spare IDE port :8)

btw I bought the card from Simply computers in UK and it was already setup
to run as a second controller (just plugged it all in and it worked fine).
