Hi,
  Pardon me if this question has been asked before. I know that IDE and SCSI
controller and drives can co-exist on the same system as many of you have done
so.

  What I like to know is do I have to disable the primary BIOS or secondary one 
or none ? Currently, my IDE controller is on a multi-io local bus card with
ET4000 as well. And IDE and 2 floppies drives are taken care of by the IDE
controller, however, I have just got hold of my longing SCSI-2 Micropolis
drive (M2112), and I am using 1542c. But I have got no manual at all for both
hardware. ALl I can see are many switches/jumpers on the drive as well as on
1542c. Can someone who has successfully configure such a system before kindly
mail me some useful notes/guidelines/tips/hints etc!

  Many thanks in advance!
