- You don't need to have a SCSI drive/card to have two hard drives. It is quite
- possible in most cases to daisy chain a second hard drive onto and existing
- IDE drive. This occasionally doesn't work with pairs of drives from different
- manufacturers, but almost always works with drives from the same manufacturer.
- Furthermore, compatibility between various IDE drives has improved quite a bit
- over the last couple of years.
-
- I have a Connor "170 Mb" (seems to have 162 Mb to me >:0| ) is happily
- coexisting with a Western Digital 40 Meg. The former has its jumpers set so
- it is the master disk, the latter is set as the slave. Never had any problems
- with either one.
