Let me make sure were talking about the same thing. What I meant by-2 ide controller mobo- is a mobo with 2 onboard ide controllers,which would therefore allow up to 8 (4+4) devices. I thought it would be more stable than useing a regular mobo and adding a Promise controller to get the total 8...

If you would take your biased blinders off, you would see who started the bad attitude, I have the right to finish what was put on me. But then again, if you did take the blinders off you would no longer be a click. Catch 22.

Very good point, Buck, thanks to you and CougTek for the needed help.

CougTek: Here's what's in it. 3-removable 7200rpm ata100 hdd's, 2-cd burners, 1- zip drive. Would you still go with your previous advise? Thanks much for your help.

I have given honey(thanks) to those who have helped me, and vinegar to the critical. I fail to see the flaw in that.

Cliptin, I'm in no hurry. Whenever you can get the info, please post it here. Thanks much for your help.

THANKS Mercutio for some actual Advice, instead of getting puss from the snobish little click that has festered in this otherwise nice forum.

Yes Handruin, I'm refering to HBA adaptors. THANKS for giving me your advise, instead of getting greif from the snobish little click that seems to have festered here.

If it's okay with you Groltz, I would be interested in hearing some other opinions, unless, of course, you are the question police to this forum.
