Hi Jerome,

I use a second IDE board on my Q40, actually it is a PC CDROM IDE card with
a single IDE port on it.

It maps to the secondary IDE address and work great on the Q40. I have a
Syquest EZ135 on it, which backs up my BBS to Syquest disk.  This not a
complete solution, but it does work.

Before Thierry's CDROM driver I was intending to use a 250mb IDE Zip drive
for backups, but maybe the more subtle solution would be to use CDR or even
CDRW disks.

This would mean writing a CD Creator program, or porting one from Linux.

I am not sure how much work the porting would be, or would it be easier to
write it from scratch in SMSQ/E.
