Hi Bill, of course I am not Fabrizio (hehe) but I think I have an answer for you... I have seen only ONCE an ISA card with TWO IDE channels on it and that was A LONG-LONG-LONG-LONG time ago. That was a special item too as it had 16 Megs of Cache on it (really interesting). Apart from that, the way I see it, the easiest thing for you would be to install a nice ISA riser card with another 3-5 ports on it and be on the safe side... (Your case must support it) Phoebus >All the best - Bill
