[opensuse] pata and sata

I know that pata (aka ide) drives are organised with two connectors each for two drives (master and slave) on the mother board. But I don't have any sata drives personnaly, so I can't try. but I need to know: how are they organised? is there still the distinction master/slave? are they only standard scsi drives? how many drives on the same cable (or are they like scsi a chain?) a friend of mine have two western digital drives and the second is not always seen by openSUSE 1.2, I try to fix the problem :-() thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/mediawiki/index.php/GPS_Lowrance_GO -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
