Hello Matt, it is a lovely day today. 

 MM> See my note to Leonard, hopefully in this same packet.

        I did and your logic has me in a quandry now. I will not get the
        screwdriver yet. According to your philosophy, I never or very
        rarely do HD to HD reading/writing so I should be on two IDE
        cables. On the other hand, if need be this setup here would be
        better if ever . . . !

        Another problem reared its ugly head a few days ago. This old
        P166 will not see the CD-ROM anymore. If I use an ERD with the
        OAK CD loader, ( Load DOS with CD capability )there it is so
        the device and connections are good. Looking at System, I see
        that the Primary and Secondary IDE ( Single FIFO bot of them )
        and the Standard PCI IDE Controler have this yellow ! showing. I
        uninstalled both of them by removing the PCI IDE Controler and
        restarted the system. I found all again and said that it
        installed all and it should be happy but it is not. Device
        Manager again shows the yellow ! and no CD device. I went to
        BIOS and selected Standard setup, restarted but still no CD.
        Where should I look ?

        Having three different systems here sure brings up a few
        questions on FIDO. At this moment, only this older P166 needs
        help. Oh, the VIA 800 does not see the scanner but this is
        another kettle of fish . . .
