Re: [IMail Forum] off topic: IDE Harddisk limitation

[Len Conrad]

The taiwanese are doing some boards that support several disks, even do RAID with atapi.  Take a look at www.promise.com, www.centos.com.tw,  www.siig.com to see if you can some happiness there.  These are just URL's I've come across, no personal experience.

It's going to cost you money, and if you need that many disks, it's probably important data, so you should probably buy spare boards, too, since you don't find these specialty items at every corner shop.

Hi,
 
I just wanna ask if anyone on list has setup their NT servers with IDE harddisks.  How do we setup more than 4 Harddisk on a computer?  I only got 2 ports for each Primary and Secondary cables.  Each has its own Master and Slave.  Is there something I should buy?
