IDE allows access to one disk per channel. Every motherboard I've seen has at least 2 channels. I've seen some decent high-end IDE RAID configurations that do 1 disk per channel and get decent performance (like the Network Appliance NearStore). -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
