Sorry for the top posting, I am reply from phone an it not as easy. Hope this is OK.
Stan I have 4 SATA HD an 2 DVD burners that the are connected to the IDE controllers (PATA). So the two IDE controllers tha most of the time have the HD in my case one has DVD as master and one DVD as slave an the other one an ATAPI tape drive as master. IF I need the ide-scsi for the sata an it the cause that I can not burn dvd, is there any solution around?

You system requires the ide-scsi for the SATA HDDs. Are your CD/DVD devices also SATA or are they the old style PATA (Parallel ATA)? ide-scsi is the way of the future as I understand it. (PATA) devices/drivers that we have become used to will be incorporated into the ide-scsi way. Makes sense since SATA will probably totally displace PATA soon. One driver to rule all! The machine I mentioned is a laptop that will never know SATA so why it did ide-scsi will remain a mystery. The CD/DVD drive didn't work quite right but it wasn't an issue because I didn't need it for the few weeks it ran in that config. It booted the DVD and installed off my LAN.
