You can buy an IDE _adapter_ for $20 (basically 2 74F245's plus a PAL -- $18.95 of the price are for the FDC on the same board :), but an (E)IDE _controller_ with roughly the same functionality like a SCSI controller is almost in the same price range. You can compare a dumb IDE adapter at best with something like an ST-01 (and hey, they're also cheap!). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
