<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;">I have just found that my suggested mother board only has one IDE controller. Seems that this is general with just about all boards and has caught me by surprise. Guess I should buy MBs more often.</SPAN></div>
<div> </div>
<div><SPAN style="font-size:10pt;">My solution is to use a "InnoVISION EIO-1680 ATA-133 IDE RAID Controller" which uses the PCI bus. I already have two 300gb IDE drives which I want to use. Do you think that it would work okay. The InnoVISION site does not give specs for the board but elsewhere there are comments that it works with Linux OS. Does that mean it will work with all versions?<br /><br /></span></div>
