Hi,
Is is better to run a 2nd drive on another IDE channel or on the same bus?
Eg. IDE channel 1 = ad0 (main OS), IDE channel 2 = ad1 (other data - maybe
MySQL and websites?)
Thoughts, opinions?
TIA
Steve.
PS. Is it obvious I'm building a new machine :)

Yes I would recommend this, but I would also recommend not having a CD
drive on the same bus as a heavily used disk
