-------------------------------------------------- Good point Stan; I have a handful of old IDE drives I use for running Debian (range from 10-80 GB) and large SATA drives just for storage that I want to keep as dedicated storage drives for data backup purposes, etc. I wonder how Lenny would deal with using the IDE host controller for the OS drive (hda) and the PCI-based SATA adapter (storage hdd) in your link? Would it get confused? Interested to hear your results when the parts arrive. Mark
