I own a HP B1000. I would like to place a pci ide controller in this machine and use IDE disks. Of course not to boot from, but as storage (I am aware of the benefits of SCSI over IDE so no need to point that out ^_^). I have asked several people on various irc-channels, googled for hours and posted on HP's "support" forum if this would work. I have gotten all answers from "No it wont" to "Yes it will". But the fact remains that I havent talked to anyone that can acutaly say they have tried it and succeeded/failed. So I ask you! Will it work to put a pci ide controller in a HP B1000 (Running Linux of course)? And if so, which chip(s) should I go for and are there any traps I should look out for? (I realise this will, if it works, probably be slow as he** and so on, but I still want to try) Appreciate any answers :) Stian _______________________________________________ parisc-linux mailing list parisc-linux@lists.parisc-linux.org http://lists.parisc-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/parisc-linux
