How common is it to see 2 IDE controllers on one card? THis fellow is
cobbling together a computer from bits even though he's broke and
completely computer illiterate. He has no IDE controller on the board and
wants 2 hard drives and a cdrom all ide. I told him best to toss the
100MB hard drive as the 4.4GB he has is more than enough. Apparently a
tech friend of his was unable to get the large drive to set up as master or
primary. I suspect he didn't try the disk mangler. Every large drive I've
encountered in an older machine wants the disk mangled first. (Disk
Manager partitioning) I told him to surrender and I'll take away his
screwed up system and return it functioning. He's not quite ready
yet. Wants it to surf just once. He's got the whole fool system on a
100MB drive and the game he wants won't let him install to E:
So, could he get an I/O card with 2 IDE adapters? Is it common or unusual?
