I'll keep that in mind, thanks.

It doesn't matter if they are IDE or SCSI, as long as they work.
What matters is that I still want to be able to access the small
IDE drive I have on the PATA connector.

I tested it for a while, but had some problems with it. I'll
try it again and see if it makes any difference.

Exactly. Or rather, 4 152GB drives, since Samsung seems to think
that K = 1000. *sigh*

How do I find out what happens with the PATA disk when I load the
