Hello netters, A (maybe ignorant) question bubbled up: I've got a A590 with a WD IDE drive in it. Is it possible to connect a additional IDE drive? (I can get my hands on a rather cheap 80MB IDE drive and I don't really want to get rid of my old, slow, small HD which has served me so loyally.. :) Bye, Jan -BeO the PeO- van Veen, beo@maestro.htsa.aha.nl

IDE supports two physical drives for certain--maybe even four. -- .--------------------------------------------------------------------------. |[- O] Rick Stevens | | ?
