I really don't under stand this whole thread. I've been running an ATAPI cdrom wired to slave on its own IDE channel w/o any problems. this is on a 2.2.6 plus a little system. I've also been running an ATAPI tape drive (thanks Soren) on its own IDE channel wired as slave with only the wst driver problems to deal with. This is on my -current system since about october or so. I don't see why it would be any different for a disk drive. I don't actually have any IDE disks laying around, or I'd try it myself..
