Nixy, I just know I have an old Indio PCI SCSI controller around here somewhere. I've been doing computer repair on the side the last week or so, and everything is a mess. I'll look some more tomorrow, everything I had hanging is fixed. You understand that setting up SCSI drives is a little more involved than IDE, right?

so is the scsi drive taken or what? i'm confused.

Unfortunately i don't really have much laying around anymore, i cleaned out my closet for a garage sale to benefit my brother's X-country ski team. I do have a couple pentiums laying around and some memory if my memory serves me (no pun intended). Like Hex said, free to a good home.

3x Pentium (90, 100, 133Mhz)
1x PC-66 (maybe 100) 32M

The SCSI drive is free. Do you want it tommy? PM me with an address if so.

Luis, i have an i have an older Cirrus logic PCI IDE/Video card. I don't know the model but it probably dates back to 94'(yikes) and i doubt it supports anything beyond IDE 33(don't know). The video portion of the card(which can be disabled) supports either 1 or 2 megs of memory but has only half that installed. Not much but you can have it if you want. It's pretty ancient.

I run my second and third cdr off an old promise controller. ATA-33 is fine for that.

Can it co-exist with the 2 IDE channels of the mobo?

Right now i have 4 ide devices, and i want to buy another harddisk, that's why i need the card. If it is that ancient (1994) i doubt it supports udma33, but I could hook up the burner or the dvd drive to it and leave the new hdd on the onboard.

Pretty funny, but I'm sure you you know that we don't import it, we export it :p

Well of course I know that, but that's why I said it, they'd NEVER look there. :wink2:
