BG> Now, consider this:  The above board (or similar) has _on-board_ EIDE HD

 BG> controllers AND dual 16550 serial I/O, ergo no separate IDE I/O card



i cant see the need for dual 16550s, the mouse can only go so fast (:



 BG> If cost is a consideration (and it seemingly is) then forget SCSI.  The

 BG> controller card alone will cost as much as a decent 2Gb EIDE drive!



where are you getting the 2 gig eide drive for less than $400 from? i'd

be in that (:
