Message-ID: <1993May13.182917.23510@mav.com> Sender: stu@mav.com Reply-To: stu@mav.com Organization: Maverick International Inc. Date: Thu, 13 May 93 18:29:17 GMT Lines: 28 I haven't been paying much attention to the advent of IDE controllers over the last few years, and would like to know a few things. 1) Is it true that IDE controllers/drives appear like the original ST506 drives on ISA bus systems? 2) What about software compatibility with IDE controllers? Specifically do 386BSD and Linux work with IDE controllers? 3) Can you intermix IDE with SCSI? meaning can you have an IDE drive, and a SCSI board, with both drive and other scsi peripherls? How abut under Linux or 386BSD? And, just another point, what about IDE or SCSI controllers and the VESA Local bus? If these questions are in a FAQ, please let me know, I've looked in all of the FAQ's here and couldn't find the answers, which means they may have been expired, or lost. Thanks... ...
