- Hi folks,
-
- I am a bit confused about some stuff I have read lately. I had always
- thought that you could nave one and only one controler card. I read an
- article the other day that clearly said 'Both an IDE and a SCSI card
- can co-exhist peacefully'.
-
- Is this true, especially under OS/2?
-
- I am contemplating buying a CD-ROM, and I want to upgrade my system to
- a SCSI drive over the summer, but all I have now is an IDE drive. I
- was thinking of getting the Adaptec 1542b card, and running the CD off
- of that. DO I also need to get a SCSI HD, or will OS/2 pick up the IDE
- drive and its controller too? (I know an IDE drive can not run off of
- a SCSI card...)
-
- This might sould like a silly question, but the things I have read,
- and been told, conflict.
-
- cheers,
-
- bvl
