Nope. Even with IDE you're not limited to 4 physical drives. That's just your typical consumer motherboard limitation, which you can override by buying more IDE controllers. Now, more drives would mean more powerful PSU's and more heat generation, which requires better airflow with better chassis that could accomodate more drives, and better airconditioning. If you'd inspect the Linux source code, much of the artificial device number limitations have been lifted with the onset of the 2.6 kernel. -- Paolo Alexis Falcone <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
