Default Promise & On Board IDE Together?

Hi Guys
Haven't tried yet, just thought I'd get some advice first. Is this possible?
Basically I want to be able to run my system drive (Onboard 1), 2 audio drives (Promise 1&2) and CD-RW (Onboard 2) all as masters.
Can anyone forsee any problems with this?

Thanks
Mark

If what you mean by onboard 1 is primary IDE, then yes you can. I currently have my system drive on the primary IDE and two audio drives on the promise card, while the CDROM and CDR are on the secondary IDE.

Excellent, thanks for that. Any hints on installing the Promise card? Any problems you ran into?

That is the same way I have my system set up and I got 24 + 10 on the DaveC test...Just plug her in and use the disk that came with the card...

Good Luck.

Thanks Guys.
All installed and working perfectly. Haveing all my drives as masters has to make a difference.... doesn't it?
I'll do the Davec test when I get an opportunity.

Thanks

If all the drives are masters and they are all on separate cables, then no drive can cause any other drive problems. It all become a PCI issue.

I like this configuration.
