I know the Promise controller works just dandy for adding hard drives -- but how about adding other IDE devices such as DVD drives?
I have four WD IDE drives, 1-20, 1-80 & 2-100. The 2-100's and a dvd reader are on my Promise-100 controller. I have booth hard drives and the dvd set to dma100.
By the way, I wonder if folks have encountered power and cooling problems with more than two hard drives.
Case is open since I fiddle with hardware a lot, but only heating problem I have had is the cpu fan quit. But that should not be related to heat from the Promise board. All in all, there are seven cards including video and I still have two unused ide slots. It is a soyo board w/733mh cpu & 133mh buss. I have acpi disabled. After all, the board is 6+ years old (IIRC). -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org
