- David, I am running a WD1006-SR2 RLL controller with 2 Seagate harddrives
- right now (a 277R and a 157R), in conjunction with a Diamond Stealth VRAM
- video card. The video card and HD are not having any problems coexisting...
- what kind of video card are you <attempting to> use? Does it's BIOS try
- to use the same memory space as the HD controller? I believe that the WD
- default BIOS address is $CC00, and if your card tries to use that address
- space, it will of course not work. Make sure they use different addresses.
- As for RLL living with IDE, there were articles a few days/a week ago to
- that efect, and the results were positive. It *should* be possible, and
- someone out there has done it. <Whoever it was, help out here, eh?>
