Both BIOSs can be active (on my machine at least). I have one IDE disk and one SCSI disk hanging off of a 1542C. I can access the SCSI disk and IDE disk through straight BIOS calls (ie, no ASPI is active) at the same time (and in fact need to do this to boot Windows NT, which has its boot blocks on the SCSI disk). Anyway, according to DOS the IDE is C:, the SCSI is D:, but both are BIOS devices. alex
