Date: Wed, 03 Jul 1996 18:00:47 BST X-Mailer: Offlite 0.09 / Termite Internet for Acorn RISC OS Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Are there any problems with having a SCSI and IDE drives in the same computer under FreeBSD? The boot drive would be the SCSI, dual booting DOS/FreeBSD. There would be DOS and FreeBSD partitions on the IDE drive. What about using drives at the same time - is this possible with SCSI, and one IDE drive, or if there were more than one IDE drive? The IDE drives could be on separate controllers, as the IDE controller is a PCI bus master with two channels (supports PIO modes 3 and 4, and Bus Master IDE DMA Mode 2.) -- Michael Searle - searle@longacre.demon.co.uk
