    Hi everyone!

    Has anyone here any experience with PCI IDE
    controllers??? I have more, than four IDE devices
    and it's not very convenient to switch cables
    that often to change them. Are these controllers
    supported by OF???

    Thanks in advance, MarK.

    Well, I know about this, but I don't care about
    SCSI. IDE is far enough for me, it's fast, it's cheap.
    So is it possible to use PCI IDE controllers with
    Peg bios or MorphOS? A simple answer 'yes', 'no' or
    'dunno' is enough ;-)

    Bye, MarK.

    I've asked a few times myself but so far I haven't heard of any PCI IDE controllers working... I'm happy with the four default units I can connect, but I know other people who have a bunch of smaller disks they want to connect.

    And I agree, SCSI is no alternative to IDE for normal people with normal income =) SCSI is still way too expensive compared to the benefits it brings over IDE...
