I guess it's not an IDE anyway (or maybe it's not a STANDARD ide). There's one IDE, just multiple firmware implementations. I usually associate Future Domain with SCSI, perhaps they make IDE controllers too. IN that case, then yes it's supported under the ATAPI driver. The magic configuration appears to be the slave of the first controller, but it may vary on your system. Also note that you will have to build a new kernel including the ATAPI options for it to work after installation. > I am sure it's not a SCSI cause the manual talks abot IDE a lot.

The defaults should work; if not, you'll have to check your jumpers.
