This may seem like a dumb question but:
I am looking at a Tyan Tiger dual 370 board.
It only has 2 IDE connectors, one or both can be HPT66/100.
I have 6 IDE devices on my BP6 and of course 4 IDE connectors.
CD burner and DVD-RAM burner on IDE 1, CD-ROM and DVD player on IDE 2.
20 gig hdd on IDE 3, and 60 gig hdd on IDE 4. both on HPT370 controller
If I add a RAID PCI controller card to the Tyan will this free up
my 2nd IDE connector for 2 more devices?
Both hdd's on RAID card and 2 IDE devices each, on IDE 1 and IDE 2?
