<< I read on the lowendmac site that if it says Rage Pro it will support a second drive.

If this motherboard is also equipped with a Rev. C ROM, then Slave drives are indeed supported on both EIDE buses. >> What about adding an ATA PCI card? I read that this will allow 2 master and 2 slave drives. Will I still run into a problem? >> No, Slave support has nothing to do with an add-on video card, or the on-motherboard video chip, per se, it has solely to do with the ROM revision, and only Revs. B and C support Slaves. A Rev. 1 motherboard with a Rev. B or C ROM, which is NOT a standard configuration, will support Slave drives, but there may be compatibility problems, including, but not limited to the video chip support. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
