With PC's you can disable one or both IDE channels on most motherboards. Is that the case with these? Is there some setup for this? >> Early Beiges were made with CD-ROM drives which had a firmware bug, and required that they be plugged as Master. Later Beiges didn't have this problem. Early Beiges which supported Slaves, and also had the optional Zip, were often made with SCSI Zips instead of EIDE Zips, as those EIDE Zips had a firmware bug, and required that they be plugged as Master.
