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.

For what it's worth, I have a number of old Macintosh (PowerPC)
machines with similar configurations.
Works at treat!
