- I have an adaptec ESDI controller primary with a special intelligent IDE
- controller secondary and it works like a dream. The IDE controller can in
- fact controll up to 4 IDE hard drives with the ESDI controlling two (pity
- I've run out of space in my tower case)
-
- The IDE controller's code is CD-1010, but I'm still trying to work out the
- company that makes it.....I got it indirect from a cheap computer place and
- they got it from some computer place in sydney (you may not have noticed I'm
- from down under). hope this helps,
-
- Chris.
