The ATA drives which are attached to the PCI card are emulated as SCSI drives, so the 'puter has to go through the entire mobo-based drives in a "roll-call", before finding none, and then doing a "roll- call" on all attached cards. It should be the same as for a SCSI drive connected to a PCI SCSI card, only a little bitt different. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
