- Huh?
-
- I got my (used) A4k with only its IDE controller and original drive, but
- almost immediately got a WarpDrive and an Emplant. So the IDE drive, and
- cable, moved to my wife's PeeCee, and I've been using ONLY the Warp's SCSI
- or the Emplant's SCSI controllers ever since.
-
- I did nothing to "disable" the IDE controller, I just stopped using it.
