Rubbing my chin* Hmmmm...never thought about setting up a master hard drive on primary and secondary ide slots, and cdrom as slave, Wonder if you could connect 3 hard drives. I currently have 4/2gb on primary and cd rom on secondary, wonder if I could set up the 6gb on the secondary wiht the cd rom as slave. I might try it next weekend, although I didnt think you could M/s different devices on the same ide slot.
