Harddisk limitation
OK,
I just finished the install. Worked great. The board came with one
ATA33 and one ATA66 cable; I have no idea how much more 66 cables cost.
I have four devices attached, each as master on its own channel - the ATA66
HD, an ATA33, a CD-ROM, and a CD-R. My only caveat - I installed Win98
on the ATA66. Everything went fine, but after final reboot, I had to
boot into safe mode and install the ATA66 drivers. Then it booted
fine.
BTW
- I am using a PIII-450, not overclocking, but the board has SoftCPU so you
don't have to play with jumpers.
So
far, I'd recommend it.
Andrew
cool! that is also what i have in mind.
but what processor will you test your board? I believe that Abit-BE6
can support upto 8 IDE drives. Are the necessary cables provided
already with the board?

Or, if you prefer Slot 1 or fear overclocking, I
just got an Abit-BE6. Single processor but otherwise similar to the
BP-6. I am building a home machine on it this weekend with a Quantum
13GB 7200 RPM/ATA66 drive. I'll let you know how it
goes.

Yes, get the new
ABit BP6 it is a dual CPU MB ( socket 370, not
slot 1) Two things that make this board the "HOT" item right
now
SMP support with celerons. People are taking cheap
366Mhz Celerons and running them at 550Mhz
Regular 33Mhz IDE and the
new 66Mhz IDE ports. Now you can have up to 8 IDE devices.

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?
