Re: [expert] Promise Ultra100 controller

[Tom Berkley]

How many scsi and ide controllers would you like to add to your system?
I think that is the only limitation that you have to worry about. (Make
certain the device drivers are available too)

Yes you can,  I am doing that now.  I use the onboard IDE, and a PCI SCSI
adapter.

2 x SCSI hard drives, 2 x IDE hard drives, 1 x IDE CD-ROM

Can you combine SCSI and IDE hard drives?  Will such a SCSI handle large HDs
if the motherboard BIOS can only handle up to 8.4 GB?

Thanks.

a) It's ata100 *g*
b) You can use ata100 drives (or ata66 for that matter) in systems that
don't support it directly via the mainboard
c) You can add an additional amount of 4 devices to your system, which makes
8 (and only about half as much as a UltraSCSI adaptor is capable to support
*g*)

Could anyone tell me what the benefits are of such a card, besides the ata100 
instead ata66 ?
