And of course a PCI IDE card supports slave drives and gives a nice speed boost too.

I have a StarMax 5000/300 with a 4.3 Gb hard drive and I just bought a 120 Gb hard drive (I want to add linux and BeOS to this drive). Can I add a second hard drive?
If so, how do you configure it (master/slave....etc.)?
The StarMax does not support slave drives--master only. Therefore, you cannot have two drives on the same IDE bus. One way around this is to replace the IDE CD ROM drive with a SCSI one, which frees up another IDE bus.
