RJT>> Are these both ATA devices?

 CA> Please excuse my ignorance but ATA _is_ the same as IDE isn't
 CA> it? If so, yes they are ATA.

yes... they are the same...

RJT>> If so, are they connected to seperate cables?

 CA> Good point. To be honest I've never checked but I will. :-)

definitely... ATA can only talk one at a time on the same bus/cable... this
is one main reason why i like SCSI so much... they should have retained
that ability when they sliced the ATA specs out of the SCSI specs...
