I generally have my hard disks a SCSI and my CD writer on IDE0 and the CD-ROM on IDE1. Works great. I believe that IDE0 runs via the PCI bus at 33 MHz, and IDE1 runs via the ISA bus (8 Mhz). That was my rational - can anyone confirm this?

That is, leave the HDD's as they are (two HDD each on a Master[no slave] So /dev/hda /dev/hdc are HDD and /dev/hdb is a regular atapi cdrom. Then by adding a scsi card, could I have cd-read cd-write as two elements on it? Or is the cd part now one piece of equiment? Can I set up a whole other anex by adding a scsi card? I was pretty convinced by the unbroken data argument. So could data be read from HDD (or from network) to scsi controlled stuff in an unbroken way? What about brands .. equipment known to work with linux? _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
