Only one can be address 0 on a given bus, so the second PC's controller has to act as a slave. I'll bet the chips can do so, but one would have to hack the initialization in the board's BIOS. -- oooOOO O O O o * * * * * * o ___ _________ _________ ________ _________ _________ ___==_ V_=_=_DW ===--- Don Wilde [don@PartsNow.com] [http://www.PartsNow.com ] /oo0000oo-oo--oo-ooo---ooo-ooo---ooo-ooo--ooo-ooo---ooo-ooo---ooo-oo--oo
